Compatibility & Reference Number

8171378RC

Please verify compatibility with us before ordering. Confirm the dryer model, approved cord type, receptacle configuration, circuit requirements, and applicable electrical code. Specific models and alternate numbers have not been verified.

Installation & Electrical Safety

1. Have a qualified installer or electrician confirm whether a 3-wire connection is permitted for the installation.
2. Disconnect power and verify the circuit is de-energized before access.
3. Follow the dryer's exact wiring diagram, grounding or bonding instructions, and specified terminal tightening requirements.
4. Use the manufacturer-required strain relief and inspect the terminal block and receptacle for damage.
5. Replace covers and complete prescribed electrical safety checks before operation.

Never cut off or modify the plug, use an improvised adapter, or bypass grounding requirements. Where a 4-wire connection is required, use the approved 4-wire cord rather than this 3-wire cord.
