Home
Construction
and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280).
Mobile home installations require:
Metal exhaust system hardware which is available for
purchase from your local Sears store or Sears Service Center.
Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a
nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer
exhaust opening.
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, ANSl/NFPA
70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire 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.
This dryer is manufactured
ready to install with a 3-wire
electrical supply connection. The green cabinet-grounding
conductor 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 green cabinet-
grounding conductor
must be removed from the external
ground conductor
screw (green screw), and secured under
the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal
block. When the green cabinet-grounding
conductor
is
secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of
the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the
neutral conductor.
