Mobile home – Additional installation requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation
must conform to the Manufactured 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)
or the Canadian Manufactured Home Standard CAN/CSA-Z240
MH.
Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase. For
■
further information, please reference the "Assistance or Service"
section of the Use and Care Guide.
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.

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
3"* To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of
(76 mm)
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
■
3"*
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire is
(76 mm)
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:
4-wire receptacle
(14-30R)
If your outlet looks like this:
3-wire receptacle
(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.
■
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 cover.
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 receptacle of
NEMA Type 10-30R.
