WARNING
If converting from a 4-wire electrical system to a 3-wire, the ground
strap must be reconnected to the terminal block support to ground
the dryer frame to the neutral conductor. Ring-type terminals are
recommended. If using strap terminals, make sure they are tightened.
FOUR WIRE OUTLET
4-Wire
receptacle
(14-30R)
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 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.
