“Does this dryer come with a line cord (electrical hookup) and does it operate with a standard 110 Vac plug? The Best Buy checkout is trying to sell me a 220 - 240 Vac line cord.”

Although I appreciate the response, I believe the information provided is for the electric dryer rather than the "Gas" version. Most gs dryers only require a standard 60 Hz AC connection rated at 15 to 20 amperes rather than the 30 ampere connection that you have documented. The Whirlpool website also states that this model only requires a 60 Hz, 120 Vac, 15-20 ampere connection, but the actual receptacle type is ambiguous and not documented well by Whirlpool. Best Buy also states that purchasing a power cord is required, but the Whirlpool website states that the power cord is supplied with the gas model. I guess I will need to find one in the store to see what type of power cord is supplied and if I can use this product.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Waste! Per the electrical information we have on this model it is rated for 120 volts. The cord needed per the Installation Instructions would be A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum, with a temperature rating of 140°F (60°C) minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.
