Four wire outlet
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL
listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft. (1.22 m)
long, must have 4 10-gauge solid copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle
of NEMA Type 14- 30 R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be
either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white color.
4-Wire system connections
1. Remove the center terminal block screw.
2. Connect the ground wire (green or unwrapped) of the power cord to the external ground conductor
screw.
3. Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) of the power cord and the appliance ground wire
(white) under the center screw of the terminal block. Be sure to cross the screw through the ring of
the power cord terminal and tighten the screw.
4. Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block screws. Be sure to cross the screw through the
terminal ring and tighten the screw.
5. Tighten the strain relief screws.
6. Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into your dryer’s rear panel slot. Secure the cover with a
screw.
4-wire system instructions:
IMPORTANT: Ring-type terminals are recommended. If using
A. Center terminal block screw
B. External ground connector
C. Green or bare copper wire of the power cord

Electrical Shock Hazard
All U.S. models are produced for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION.
The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes,
or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral conductor.
If the 4-wire system is used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at the
terminal block. Refer to the “Electric requirements” section for 3-WIRE or 4-WIRE SYSTEM
CONNECTIONS.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hose provided in the cabinet near
the terminal block.
- A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
Use a 3/8" (1cm) deep well socket.
