[LG Dryers] 4-Wire Power Cord Installation
LG makes it easy to properly install and set up your new electric dryer.
This video will take you through the step by step process so you can start using the many features your LG dryer has to offer.
Place the unit where it is to be installed, leaving the back exposed.
To be safe, make sure that the cord is not plugged in and turn the breaker off that connects to your laundry outlet. During installation, you can also refer to the installation diagram provided for you located near the terminal.
Remove the screws holding the terminal block access cover and pull off the access cover.
Install a UL listed strain relief into the power cord through hole and then thread the four wire power cord through the strain relief.
A cord strain relief is required to prevent accidental pull from the unit.
You will notice a black, white and red wire connected to the terminal block and a white ground wire connected on the green screw mount.
Remove the bottom row of screws for each block.
Also remove the green ground screw, which is holding in place the white neutral wire.
Place your white ground wire and your white neutral wire to the center terminal block and securely screw into place.
Match the other colored wires to their coordinating terminal blocks and screw each wire on tightly with no gap or slack.
Finally, screw the green screw back on the mount and screw the access cover back into place.
Plug your new LG dryer into the outlet and you are all ready to go.
