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
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 1
from remaining 3 wires. Strip insulation back 1" (25 mm).
Shape ends of wires into hooks.
2.
Remove neutral ground wire
Remove the neutral ground wire (white) (F) located inside the
dryer cabinet, behind the external ground conductor screw (A).
3.
Connect power supply cable wire
Place hooked end of ground wire (E) (green
or bare) of power supply cord under external
ground conductor screw (A). Squeeze hooked
end together and tighten screw. Connect
hooked end of neutral wire (D) (white or center
wire) of power supply cord under center screw
(B) of the terminal block. Squeeze hooked end together and
tighten screw.
4.
Place hooked ends of remaining direct wire cable wires under
outer terminal block screws (hooks facing right). Squeeze
hooked ends together and tighten screws. Replace the terminal
block cover on the back of the dryer. Tighten strain relief nut.
Now, go to "Venting Requirements."
