Dexter single/three-phase 208-240VAC 60 Hz washing machines are intended to be permanently installed
appliances. No power cord is provided except 18 lb. (see below). The machine should be connected to an
individual branch circuit not shared by lighting or other equipment. The connection should be sheathed in
liquid tight flexible conduit, or equivalent, with conductors of the proper size and insulation. A qualified
technician should make such connections in accordance with the wiring diagram.
Dexter 18lb. WCVD18KCS-10 model (1 phase 120 volts) washers are equiped with an electrical cord with a 3
prong grounded plug. A U.L. approved receptacle, which has been properly grounded in accordance with local
electrical codes must be used with the machine. Each unit should be connected to an individual branch circuit
not shared by lighting or other equipment. Conductors of the proper size and insulation (suggested size
below) should be used.
TO MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: Disconnect all power to the washer. Remove screw and lift out
the cover located in the upper left corner of the machine (as viewed from the back).
Ø If power is 208-240-3PH-60Hz, connect L1, L2, L3 and ground. If there is a high leg it must be
connected to L3.
Ø If power is 208-240-1PH-60Hz, connect L1, L2 and Ground.
If power is 120 -1PH-60Hz. Use a UL approved receptacle with proper external ground.
NOTE: It is important that the grounding screw next to the power terminal block TB-1 be connected
to a good external ground.
CONTROLS TRANSFORMER: The controls transformer is located inside the control trough and steps a
range of 208 to 240 volts down to 115 volts. There are two terminals on the controls transformer for the
primary (incoming) power. Use the terminal marked “208V” for power supplies between 200 and 216
volts. Use the terminal marked “230V” for power supplies between 217 and 240 volts.
NOTE: TRANSFORMER MUST BE SET AT PROPER TAP FOR PROPER OPERATION.
Electrical power connections are made to the small terminal block located in the rear of the control trough.
The terminal block is accessed by opening the top panel of the machine.
