3-WIRE SYSTEM FOR
ELECTRIC DRYERS
DO NOT use for Mobile Home Installations.
NOT for use on new construction.
1. Remove the screws securing the terminal block access
cover and the strain relief mounting bracket located on
the back of the dryer upper corner.
2. Install a UL-listed strain relief into the power cord entry
hole of the mounting bracket. Finger-tighten the nut
only at this time.

Use copper
conductors only.
3. Thread a UL-listed 30A, 240V, 3 #10 AWG minimum
copper conductor power cord through the strain relief.
4. Attach the power cord neutral (center wire) conductor
to the silver-colored center terminal on the terminal
block. Tighten the screw securely.
5. Attach the remaining two power cord outer conductors
to the outer brass-colored terminals on the terminal
block. Tighten both screws securely.
WARNING:
crimp wiring/conductor at connections.
6. Reattach the strain relief mounting bracket to the
back of the dryer with screws provided. Tighten screws
securely.
7. Tighten the screws securing the cord restraint firmly
against the power cord.
8. Tighten the strain relief nut securely so that the strain
relief does not turn.
9. Reinstall the terminal block access cover.

4-WIRE SYSTEM FOR
ELECTRIC DRYERS
Effective January 1, 1996: The National Electrical Code
requires that new construction (non existing) utilize a
4-wire connection to an electric dryer.
1. Remove the screws securing the terminal block access
cover and the strain relief mounting bracket located on
the back of the dryer upper corner.
2. Install a UL-listed strain relief in the entry hole of
the mounting bracket. Finger-tighten the nut only
at this time.
3. Remove the green neutral ground wire from the green
ground screw located above the terminal block.

4. Thread a UL-listed 30A, 240V, 4 #10 AWG minimum
copper conductor power cord through the strain relief.
5. Attach the green power cord ground wire to the
cabinet with the green ground screw.
6. Attach the white (neutral) power cord conductor from
the power cord and the green ground wire from the
dryer harness to the silver-colored center terminal on
the terminal block. Tighten the screw securely.
7. Attach the red and black power cord conductors to the
outer brass-colored terminals on the terminal block.
