Why don electric dryers and ranges come with electrical cords?
Great question! The reason why electric dryer and ranges do not come with electrical cords is because we do not want to assume what type of electrical outlet is in your home and send the incorrect type of cords. The older homes usually have a 3 prong 220 volt outlet, while the newer homes – as well as the homes that are being built today – have a 4 prong 220 volt outlet. The difference is the 4 prong electrical cord has an additional grounding wire. We also recommend that when customers purchase a new electrical appliance, that you also replace the electrical cords – which we sell on Sears.com for $18.99. Our delivery team also has the electrical cords with them when we deliver your new appliance, but they will charge more for the cord.
