4-Wire Direct Wire Connection IMPORTANT: A 4-wire connection is required for mobile homes and where local codes do not permit 3-wire connections. 1. Prepare your 4-wire cable for direct connection 31 (89 ⁄2m" m) (251m" m) (127 5" mm) Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so dryer may be moved if needed. Strip 5" (127 mm) of outer covering from end of cable, leaving bare ground wire at 5" (127 mm). Cut 11/2" (38 mm) from remaining 3 wires. Strip insulation back 1" (25 mm). Shape ends of wires into hooks. 2. Prepare to connect neutral wire 4. Connect ground wire F A Connect ground wire (green or bare) (F) of direct wire cable under green external ground conductor screw (A). Tighten screw. 5. Connect remaining wires D B A Remove center terminal block screw (B) and green external ground conductor screw (A). Loop neutral bonding wire (white) (D) to center terminal block. 3. Connect neutral wire B D C Place hooked end (hook facing right) of neutral wire (white or center wire) (C) of direct wire cable under center screw of terminal block (B). Squeeze hooked ends together. Make sure the end of neutral bonding wire (white) (D) looped in Step 2 remains on the center terminal when the direct wire cable neutral wire is attached. Tighten screw. 22 Place hooked ends of remaining direct wire cable wires under outer terminal block screws (hooks facing right).
