Dear Valued Consumer: All electric dryers including model WED4900XW run on 240 volt, 30 amp service. All gas dryers run on 120 volt, 15-20 amp service. All gas dryers will come with the 120 volt cord attached. You will need to purchase a cord for an electric dryer depending on the electricity in your home. Our compact electric dryer LDR3822PQ is the only one that is 120 volt. Thank you for your interest in our Whirlpool dryer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can download a copy of the user/installation manual online from the whirlpool website. You will need to enter the model number then you can download. Yes, this is a 110volt unit. There are diagrams that show you how to use either 3 or 4 prong cords. There is a simple "Jumper" wire that you may have to reposition depending on the cord type you need. I did the install myself and it wasn't difficult at all. I hope this helps you. Good luck.
