The chord for the dryer... is it a 3 or 4 prong? null

Weather you use the three-prong or 4-prong cord will depend on what the electrician installed in your home for the dryer. Both are acceptable and compliant with code. If you have a 3-prong receptacle and want a 4-prong cord, you will have to hire an electrician to upgrade the receptacle. And vice-versa. Look at the wall where the receptacle is and count if it has three or four holes. Then, order the appropriate cord for your dryer.

The cord does not come with the dryer you need to buy that separately. You can then match the existing 30 amp receptacle in your home, either 3 or 4 prong.
