      Answered by Gary

  • QuestionDoes a power cord come with it ? If so, is it 3 or 4 prong I don’t know what my old dryer is - my guess is 3 prong. Can this dryer run on 3 prong

    Asked by TomH.

    • Answer The washing machine is standard 120V power, and a cord is included to simply plug into a normal 3-prong outlet. I don't believe this machine exceeds 15A so no special wiring is required / no heavy duty outlet needed (read the manual / specifications to insure). You will be prompted to buy a new hose set. The electric dryer does not automatically come with a cord. When you buy it from your retailer, they are prompted to add a 220V cord (and a vent hose set (extra hose and adapter for steam, too)), and it's not inexpensive. The instructions cover how to attach either a 3-wire or 4-wire cord set. The house outlet won't stop you from any machine configuration: it's more of a code issue.
