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-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. This cord is sold
separately.

WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock
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-amperes 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 supported at the dryer cabinet by 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 a 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-ampere fuse or circuit
breaker on both sides of the line is required.
NOTE
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
convert a dryer to 120 / 208 volts.
