electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire
■
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor
is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire)
within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical
supply connection, the neutral ground conductor must be
removed from the external ground connector (green screw),
and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire)
of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is
secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the
terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral
conductor.
If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral
■
ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-Wire
Connection" section.
A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the
■
appliance is installed in a location where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the
neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,
(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas
where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductors.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL Listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
A UL Listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120-/240-volt
■
minimum, and have a temperature rating of 140ºF (60ºC)
minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least
4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end
in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.
A UL Listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:
4-wire
receptacle
(14-30R)
If your outlet looks like this:
3-wire
receptacle
(10-30R)
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 four 10-gauge
solid copper wires and match a 4-wire
receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground
wire (ground conductor) may be either green or
bare. The neutral conductor must be identified
by a white cover.
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with
ring or spade terminals and UL Listed strain
relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least
4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge
solid copper wires and match a 3-wire
receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
