4. Setup and Installation
This section provides general guidance for installing the power cord. Always refer to your specific range's owner's manual for detailed, model-specific instructions and safety precautions.
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning, ensure the circuit breaker for the range outlet is turned OFF. Verify there is no power at the outlet using a voltage tester.
- Access Terminal Block: Locate the terminal block cover on the back of your range. Remove the screws to access the terminal block.
- Install Strain Relief: Insert the power cord through the strain relief opening on the range. Secure the strain relief clamp around the power cord's outer jacket, ensuring it holds the cord firmly in place and prevents tension on the wire connections.
- Connect Wires: Connect the color-coded wires to the corresponding terminals on the range's terminal block. The typical 4-wire configuration is:
- Red Wire: Connect to one of the outer hot terminals (L1).
- Black Wire: Connect to the other outer hot terminal (L2).
- White Wire: Connect to the center neutral terminal.
- Green Wire (or bare copper): Connect to the ground terminal, which is typically attached to the range chassis.
- Replace Cover: Reinstall the terminal block cover on the back of the range.
- Connect to Wall Outlet: Plug the power cord into the NEMA 14-50R wall receptacle.
- Restore Power: Turn the circuit breaker back ON.

6. Maintenance
The GE WX09X10037 power cord requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the cord and plug for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or discoloration.

If any damage is observed, disconnect power immediately and replace the cord with a genuine GE OEM part.
7. Troubleshooting
If your range is not receiving power after installation, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Power to Range:
