ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the Grounding section.

An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your Dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD.

Gas models – U.S. and Canada

A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker is
required.

Electric models – U.S. only

Most U.S. dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require
120/208 volt, 60 Hz approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found
on the data label located behind the door. A 30-amp fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the
line is required.

If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-amp receptacle.
The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.

IMPORTANT:

When local codes allow, you can connect the dryer’s electrical supply with a new power supply
cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of 120/240 volts,
30-amp with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-
end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old Dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring

must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.

Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,

(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacle, NEMA
type 14-30R.)

Electric models – Canada Only

A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-amp fuse or circuit

breaker on both sides of the line is required.

All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be

plugged into a 30-amp receptacle.

You may not convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts.
