Unlike Gas dryers that come with a power cord attached that can be plugged into an individual grounded outlet rated at 120 VAC, 60Hz, electric dryer cords are sold separately to ensure that they comply with your state and local wiring codes. The codes can vary significantly from state to state, and even city to city. Manufacturers for Electric Dryers cannot anticipate the final destination for a dryer so they don't include a power cord with the dryer, so it has to be purchased separately according to your local codes or ordinances or in their absence, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 7.4 Cu. Ft. 8-Cycle Electric Dryer with FlowSense™ - White, Model # DLE3400W has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line) A 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned ends or 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 can be used. A 3-wire connection is NOT permitted on new construction after January 1, 1996 or in areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile and manufactured home installations, as well as all new construction after January 1, 1996 or in areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. If you are not sure which connection is permitted in your area, you can check your local building codes or consult with your local building inspector or a qualified electrician.Best Buy should carry the power cords and if they don't, you can find it at any home improvement store...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can buy it from Best Buy or any Home Improvement store. You will need to know whether you need a 3-prong or 4-prong cord. Look at the outlet in your wall to determine that.
