About Ground Wires

In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is
green or green with a yellow stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires
are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death, all wiring and grounding must conform with
the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.1, and such local regulations as might apply. It is
the customer's responsibility to have the wiring and
fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
your home has adequate electrical power to operate
the dryer.
!
