Electrical Connection (Three-Wire)
IMPORTANT; This dryer is grounded to neutral
conductor at the terminal block. If the dryer is
installed in a mobile home, or if local codes do
not permit grounding through the neutral,
proceed as shown in paragraph 77.
a. Remove screw and terminal block access
cover from rear of dryer cabinet.
b. Insert ends of wires through power supply
hole (containing proper strain relief) in rear of
dryer cabinet. Connect the power cord, or
direct wiring, to the appropriate terminal block
terminals using the three-wire binding (10-32
x 3/8") screws from the accessories pack in
the envelope shipped inside the dryer
cylinder.
If the dryer had previously been connected with a
four-wire power cord, remove the four-wire cord by
reversing procedures under four-wire power cord.
IMPORTANT: Use only a U.L. listed No. 10
(copper wire only) three conductor power supply
cord kit rated 240 Volts (minimum) 30 Amperes
and labeled as suitable for use in a clothes
dryer.
c. Tighten these wire-binding screws firmly.
IMPORTANT: Failure to tighten these screws
firmly may result in wire failure at the terminal
block.
d. Secure the strain relief to the power cord, or
wires, where they enter the dryer cabinet.
e. Reinstall access cover and screw.
Three Wire Plus Ground Wire Power Cord

dryer.
If the dryer has a three-wire cord attached, then
complete Steps a through k.
a. Remove the screw holding the access plate to
the rear of dryer cabinet.

to terminal block terminals. Save these
screws.
c. Loosen the strain relief screw and pull the
cord or wires out through the rear of the
dryer.

holding the ground wire to the terminal block
mounting bracket. Save the screw.
