“What if you have an outlet wired for a (stove appliance) as dryer outlet & you buy a new cord & install it yourself? Does this affect the 1yr manufacturer warranty or any extra warranties purchased? I’ve used my current dryer for years with this outlet.”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your inquiry! Installing a new power cord yourself on the Insignia™ 7 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer with Sensor Dry, even when using an existing outlet originally wired for a stove, typically does not void the 1-year manufacturer warranty or any extended protection plans like Geek Squad Protection, as long as the installation is done correctly and safely. However, both Insignia and Best Buy recommend professional installation for 240V appliances to ensure compliance with safety standards and local electrical codes. If the self-installation leads to damage or improper operation, that specific damage may not be covered under the warranty. Since you've already been using the outlet with your current dryer without issues, it's likely compatible, but it's still important to ensure the new cord matches the outlet type and is securely installed. If you're unsure, consulting a licensed electrician or having the installation inspected is a good precaution. Keith | Insignia Support
