“Is is possible to use a 220-volt cord with this new dryer, or with any of the new large high efficiency dryers? Our house was built in 1983 and still has the original 220-volt outlet, exactly like the one pictured, here on a separate 30-amp circuit.”

The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line). Electrical service for the dryer should be of the maximum rate voltage listed on the nameplate. Do not connect the dryer to 110, 115, or 120-volt circuit. Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 3-wire, UL-listed power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned ends. ^Daphane
