Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the electrical requirements for your LG 5.0 Cu. Ft. HE Smart Front Load Washer and 7.8 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer WashTower (WKEX300HBA). For new installations in the United States, we recommend having a 4-prong, 240V, 30-amp dedicated circuit installed. The industry name for this specific outlet is a NEMA 14-30R. We suggest ensuring your electrician uses a UL-listed 4-wire power cord to match this outlet for the safest and most reliable operation of your WashTower. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-5-0-cu-ft-he-smart-front-load-washer-and-7-8-cu-ft-electric-dryer-washtower-with-steam-and-ventless-heat-pump-tech-black-steel/JJ8VPZQQKZ For further assistance and any specific concerns you may have, please contact us on [email protected]. —Renzo
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I purchased from Best Buy. I spoke with and agent there before my purchase and they confirmed it can be either the 3-prong or the 4-prong.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The current standard is for 4 prong. Just tell the electrician that you will need a 4 prong outlet. The machines are currently wired for a 3 prong outlet (default) your installers will need to move some wires on the back of the machine. It's an easy job and is illustrated on the back of the machine. It's easy!
