Electrical requirements

The wiring diagram is located on the plate below the control panel.
WARNING
• The improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it doesn't fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must
be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 -
Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical
services for your dryer.
• All gas installations must be done in accordance with the national Fuel Code ANSI/Z2231 - Latest
Revision (for the U.S.) or CAN/CGA - B149 Installation Codes - Latest Revision (for Canada) and local
codes and ordinances.

Electrical connections

Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the "Grounding" section on page 13.
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.
WARNING - 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.
