1. Remove the external ground connector’s screw and
connect the ground wire (green or unwrapped) of the
power cable to the screw.
CAUTION
- To connect the ground wire to the neutral position
without through contact A (cabinet ground),
contact a technician. This is not user serviceable.
- Ring-type terminals are recommended. If using
strap terminals, make sure they are tightened.
2. Loosen or remove the screws from the center
terminal block.
3. Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire)
and ground wire (white) to the center screw of the
terminal block. Tighten the screw.
4. Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block
screws. Tighten the screws.
5. Tighten the strain relief screws.
6. Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into the
rear slot of the dryer. Secure the cover with a hold-
down screw.
CAUTION
Connect the power cord and check L1/L2/D (N) voltage. If the voltage is low, it may not heat properly.
Review the “Electrical requirements” section on page 22 if needed.
WARNING
• All U.S. models are designed 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. If you use the
4-wire system, you cannot ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
• Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the
hole 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.
• Since january 1, 1996, the national electric code requires that new wiring (not existing) utilize a 4-wire
connection to this dryer.
