Electrical requirements
Electrical grounding is required for your washer.
• You must ground your washer. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for the electric current.
• A 120 v, 60 Hz, AC-only,15 or 20 amp, fused electrical supply is required. We
recommend that you use a time-delay fuse or provide a circuit serving only
your washer.
• Your washer is equipped with a power cord that has a 3-prong grounding
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a
matching 3-prong, grounding type outlet, grounded in accordance with local
codes and ordinances. If a 3-prong outlet is not available, contact a qualified
electrician to install one. Do not use an adapter.
• If codes permit and you use a separate ground wire, we recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure your washer is correctly
grounded.
• Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
• Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of
electric shock only during servicing. When servicing, do not contact the
following parts while the appliance is energized: electrical valve, drain pump,
or door lock.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 3 before operating your washer.
WARNINGS:
• Connect to grounded 3-prong outlet with an individual 15 amp branch circuit
protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.
• Connect to individual branch circuit.
• Do not remove the ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in electrical shock, fire, or death.
WARNINGS:
• You’re responsible for providing adequate electrical services for your washer.
• Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
