Electrical System Requirements - Frigidaire Dryer Servicing

Section 2 Installation Information
NOTE
Because of potentially inconsistent voltage capabili-
ties, the use of this dryer with power created by gas
powered generators, solar powered generators, wind
powered generators or any other generator other than
the local utility company is not recommended.
GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not
required.

Electrical System Requirements

Circuit - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30
amp. time delay fuses or circuit breakers. Use separately
fused circuits for washer and dryer. DO NOT operate a
washer and a dryer on the same circuit.
Power Supply - 3-wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase,
60 Hz, Alternating Current.
3-Wire Power Supply Cord Kit (not supplied)
The dryer MUST employ a 3-conductor power supply
cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT rated at 240 volt AC
minimum, 30 amp, with 3 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors
and marked for use with clothes dryers. For 3-wire cord
connection instructions see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
FOR A 3-WIRE SYSTEM. (See Figure 2-8)
4-Wire Power Supply Cord Kit (not supplied)
The dryer MUST employ a 4-conductor power supply
cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST (as required) rated at
240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp, with 4 open end spade
lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop
connectors and marked for use with clothes dryers.
For 4-wire cord connection instructions see ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS FOR A 4-WIRE SYSTEM. (See Figure 2-8)
NOTE
Dryers manufactured for sale in Canada have factory-
installed, 4-wire power supply cord (NEMA 14-30R).
IMPORTANT
This dryer is internally grounded to neutral unless
it was manufactured for sale in Canada. Grounding
through the neutral link is prohibited for: (1) new
branch circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) rec-
reational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes do
not permit grounding through the neutral.

Outlet Receptacle
NEMA 10-30R or NEMA 14-30R receptacle to be
located so the power supply cord is accessible when the
dryer is in the installed position.

Circuit - Individual, properly polarized and
grounded 15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp.
time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Power Supply - 2-wire, with ground, 120 volt,
single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
Power Supply Cord - The dryer is equipped
with a 120 volt 3-wire power cord.
Grounding Connection - See "Grounding
requirements" in Electrical Installation section.
