Q: QuestionI'm trying to find a cable for this dryer before it arrives. Do we know if it has a three wire or a four wire hook up on the back?

Asked 3 years ago by Kwitchawhinin.

• A:Answer It is interchangeable and can use either. You have to look at the outlet on your wall where you plug your dryer in. If it’s a 3 slot then it’ll be the 3 prong cord which will also have have 3 wires, if the plug in the wall has 4 slots you’ll use a 4 wire which is also a 4 prong. The back where you hook it up has will fit either.

Q: QuestionI am replacing a whirlpool duet dryer. Will this fit on the pedestal that I already have? Dimensions look very similar, but depth may be an inch or 2 different??

Asked 4 years ago by Sadie.

• A:Answer Hi Sadie, each model will have its own matched pedestal so the old one will not fit the new unit. The correct pedestal for this model is either the WFP2715HW 15" pedestal linked here: https://bit.ly/3do4GLS or the XHP1000XW 10" pedestal, linked here: https://bit.ly/3ncfmSo
