ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the “Grounding” section on page 16.
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-ampere 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-ampere 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-ampere receptacle.
• The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of the dryer may be connected by means of
a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a
minimum of120/240 volts, 30-ampere 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 a 4-prong plug for 4 wire
receptacles, NEMA type 14-30R.)
Electric models – Canada Only
• A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere 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-ampere receptacle.
In Canada, you may not convert a dryer to 208 volts.
