Electric models of the dryer are manufactured for a 3-wire connection system. The dryer frame
is grounded by a link to the neutral conductor on the dryer terminal block. If local codes do
not permit grounding through the neutral, the grounding link from the terminal block must be
removed and a separate ground wire must be used.
The grounding link on the dryer must be removed for all 4-wire installations including new,
remodelled construction, or mobile homes.
These Electrical Connection instructions provide for installing the dryer in the following situations:
3-wire connection where local codes
permit
grounding through the neutral.
3-wire connection plus separate grounding connector where local codes
do not permit

4-wire connection.
Each of the above connections can be made with an approved power supply cord or by direct
wiring. Each connection instruction identifies the appropriate Power Supply Cord and covers
requirements for direct wiring.
For 3-Wire Connections by Power Cords
