Referring to the Samsung response, they are incorrect. This Ventless Dryer requires 240V, not 120V. I have this unit. This pulls about 2kW peak for about a minute before the heat pump turns on and steady states at around 500 watts. Ampacity at peak (for about two minutes when the cycle starts) is about 8 amps and steady states (for about 90 or so minutes) at ~2 amps. Their recommendation is correct, 30A 240V outlet. For what it's worth, I LOVE THIS UNIT. My cost is about ~15-20 cents per load, and I'm in California where electricity is a tad more expensive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.NEMA 15-30P for your "Plug" and NEMA 15-30R for your "Receptacle". Just look for those. (4 plugs: 2 hots, 1 neutral, 1 ground) Or if you have an older home with NO grounding, you can use NEMA 6-30P and 6-30R. (2 hots, 1 neutral)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Dale, This dryer model requires a 120-volt with 60 Hertz AC-approved electrical service. A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is needed. Use a 4-prong plug for a 4-wire receptacle. Have a great day. -John
