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
1"
(25 mm)
5"
(127 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 1½" (38 mm) from
remaining 3 wires. Strip insulation back 1" (25 mm). Shape ends
of wires into hooks.
2.
Prepare to connect neutral ground
wire and neutral wire
3.
Connect neutral ground wire and
neutral wire
Connect neutral ground wire (E) and 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 and tighten screw.
Remove center terminal block screw (B). Remove neutral ground
wire (E) from external ground conductor screw (A).
4.
Connect ground wire
Connect ground wire (green or bare) (F) of direct wire cable to
external ground conductor screw (A). Tighten screw.
5.
Connect remaining wires
Place hooked ends of remaining direct wire cable wires
under outer terminal block screws (hooks facing right). Squeeze
hooked ends together and tighten screws. Finally, reinsert tab
of terminal block cover into slot of dryer rear panel. Secure
cover with hold-down screw. Now, go to “Venting Requirements.”
3-Wire Direct Wire Connection
IMPORTANT:
Use where local codes permit connecting
cabinet-ground conductor to neutral wire.
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so
dryer may be moved if needed.
Strip 3½" (89 mm) of outer covering from end of cable. Strip
insulation back 1" (25 mm). If using 3-wire cable with ground
wire, cut bare wire even with outer covering. Shape wire ends
into hooks.
