As with virtually all standalone, full-sized ventless electric dryers, the ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient / ENERGY STAR Certified LG 7.8 cu. Ft. Ultra Large Capacity Heat Pump Ventless Dryer, Wi-Fi Connectivity Black Steel, Model # DLHC4002B, does not come with a power cord. This is standard for 240-volt electric dryers because of varying home configurations (3-prong vs. 4-prong outlets), requiring you to purchase the appropriate cord separately. Homes may have 3-prong or 4-prong receptacles, depending on when they were built, with 4-prong being required for new construction since 1996. The dryer's terminal block must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 15 amperes. The circuit must be fused on both sides of the line. The NEMA configuration for a 240V, 3-wire (2-pole, 3-wire grounded), 15-amp receptacle is NEMA 6-15R. This receptacle features two horizontal slots for hot wires and a U-shaped ground hole, designed for dedicated 250V circuits, and a 240V, 15-amp, 4-wire receptacle typically uses a NEMA L14-15R (locking) configuration. This configuration includes two hot wires, a neutral, and a ground, rated for 125/250V, making it suitable for 4-wire 240V applications requiring 15 amps...^Ivan.
