“Can the power be connected directly to the machine? My current dryer has the power cable connected directly to the machine. Does this dryer need a 3 or 4 prong plug to be connected to an outlet or can the power cable be directly connected to the machine? I just need to know if I need an outlet installed.”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depending on the outlet, a new 3 or 4 prong plug and cord has to be purchased separately as the dryer does not come with an attached cord.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you had an electric dryer hooked up before and the power cord still works, unhook it and use it on this one, it's what I did. Mine was 3 pronged going into the wall, but I used the same cord from my old one on this one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The machine doesn't come with a power cable because the number of prongs on the cable is determined by the dryer-specific outlet in your house. All you have to do is look at your outlet and then you can buy a standard power cable from Best Buy (we got ours from Home Depot). You do need to have formal hookups in your house, so it sounds like you need the correct outlet (it provides more power than an average one) installed. Good luck!
