Did I do this right? Scared I might die if I plug it in
Posted On: April 17, 2023

Question from user KaPowPower at Appliances at reddit.com.


Answer:

Very close. The black jacket of the cable needs to be inside the cable clamp by at least 3/4" before the clamp screws get tightened, and the access cover should be screwed on before the unit gets plugged in.


You might also loosen the black wire connection and swing it away from the white connection before tightening it back down.
