Electrical Requirements

It is your responsibility:

• To contact a qualified electrical installer.

• To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
  The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
  A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

• To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
  Electrical Connection
  To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

• If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire connection” section.

• This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire 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 wire must be removed from the external ground connector screw (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground wire is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.

• A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the dryer 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. 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:

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 4-wire receptacle
(14-30R)      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 cover.

If your outlet looks like this:

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 3 10-gauge solid copper wires and match a 3-wire 3-wire receptacle     receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
(10-30R)

If connecting by direct wire:
Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire) and be:

• Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire), covered with flexible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.
• 10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum).
• At least 5 ft. (1.52 m) long.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

For a permanently connected dryer: This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer. WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Special provisions for mobile home installations:
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path:

• Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
  path outdoors.

• Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.

• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
  as possible.

• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

• Use as few 90° turns as possible.
  Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
  drying performance:

• Use following Vent system chart to determine type of vent
  material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
  NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified
  in Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
  specified will:

• Shorten life of dryer.

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
  and increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help achieve best drying performance.

Install Vent System

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4″ (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location
using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure
vent, because they can catch lint.

Connect Vent

Using a 4″ (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure vent is
clean. Dryer vent must fit over dryer exhaust outlet and inside
exhaust hood. Check that vent is secured to exhaust hood
with a 4″ (102 mm) clamp.

Move dryer to final location. Avoid crushing or kinking vent.
After dryer is in place, remove corner posts and cardboard
from under the dryer.

Level Dryer

Check levelness of dryer from side to side. Repeat from
front to back.

NOTE: The dryer must be level for the moisture sensing system
to operate correctly.

If dryer is not level, prop up using a wood block, use wrench
to adjust legs up or down, and check again for levelness.
Once legs are level, make sure all four legs are snug against
the ground before tightening them.
