only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire,
120/208-volt electrical supply, if speci-

Electrical
Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must
determine the type of electrical connec-
tion you will be using and follow the
instructions provided for it here.
• If local codes do not permit the con-
nection of a cabinet ground connector
to the neutral wire, see "Direct Wire or
Power Supply Cord."
• This dryer is manufactured with a 3-
wire, cabinet-ground conductor con-
nected to the NEUTRAL (white or cen-
ter wire) of the wiring harness at the
terminal block.
• Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the
dryer is installed in a mobile home or
an area where local codes do not per-
mit grounding through the neutral.
If using a power supply cord:
Dryer power supply cord must be:
• ULqisted
• 120/240 volt minimum
• 30 amp
• Type SRD or SRDT
• At least 4 ft (122 cm) long
The wires that connect to the dryer must
end in ring terminals or spade terminals
with upturned ends,
If your outlet looks like this:

4-wire receptacle
(14-30R)
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord
with ring or spade terminals and UL
approved strain relief. The 4-wire power
supply cord, at least 4 ft (122 cm) long,
must have 4, 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.
If your outlet looks like this:
©
3-wire receptacle
(10-30R)
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord
with ring or spade terminals and UL
approved strain relief. The 3-wire power
supply cord, at least 4 ft (122 cm) long,
must have 3, No.*10 copper wires and
