Hi there. We understand your concern regarding dryer power cords. LG provides both 3-prong and 4-prong options because many homes still feature older wiring configurations that require a 3-prong connection, allowing for broader compatibility during installation.

Houses built more than 30 years ago may still have 3 prong outlets for major appliances.  If youre not in a situation where you can re-wire your older home, you need to be able to buy a 3 prong plug.
