Dryer Safety Operation Requirements Parts and Features Installation Instructions Dryer Use Appendix Dryer Care Troubleshooting 26 WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard All U.S. models are produced for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION. The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral conductor. If the 4-wire system is used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. Refer to the “Electric Requirements” section on page 16 for 3-WIRE or 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS.
Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hose provided in the cabinet near the terminal block. • A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8" (1 cm) deep-well socket.
