Connecting 4-Wire Connection: Direct Wire
IMPORTANT: A 4-wire connection is required for mobile
homes and where local codes do not permit the use of 3-wire
connections.
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so dryer
can 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 three
remaining wires. Strip insulation back 1" (25 mm). Shape ends of
wires into a hook shape.
