Dryer - Power Cords

It is important to have the correct power cord on your dryer. The appropriate power cord corresponds to the electrical supply requirements for a dryer.

Using the Correct Power Cord on a Dryer

Electric Dryers

Most electric dryer power cords are sold separately to ensure that they comply with all state and local wiring codes. These codes can vary significantly from state to state, and even city to city. Since it is not possible to anticipate the final destination of a dryer as it leaves the assembly line and install the proper cord, the local dealer usually provides the power cord. The cord type will vary according to the home's wiring such as a 3-wire connection versus a 4-wire connection.

To better accommodate electric code changes, electric dryer power cords will be available as a separate part for specific models. Power cords can be purchased by calling GE Appliance Parts at 1-877-959-8688 or from our GE Appliances Parts & Accessories website.

To ensure the performance and safety of the dryer, we do not recommend reusing the existing power cord from the previous dryer.

For Installation Instructions for the dryer and power cord connection, you may download a copy of the Installation Instructions.

Gas Dryers

The length of the power cord on a gas Top Load and Front Load dryer is 70".
