Hello, and thank you for your question. 14/3 NM‑B is too small for a dryer; use 10/3 NM‑B for a proper 30‑amp dryer circuit. If you have any additional questions or feedback, please reach out to us at consumersupport@southwire.com.
Was this Answer Helpful ? No, not only are the conductors too small, there are not enough conductors for an electric dryer circuit. A dryer circuit must have 4 wires; one Blk, one Red, one Wht and one bare ground and they all must be 10 AWG and protected at 30 amps by either a 2 pole 30 amp breaker or 30 amp fuses.
