Dryer cords come in various lengths and this should be a consideration before you purchase one. Be sure to measure the distance from the dryer outlet to the middle of your opening for the dryer. The standard length of a dryer cord is five to six feet long, so if in doubt, buy the longer one.
These cords come in different amperage ratings also. Look on the back of you new dryer and see what the amperage draw for the dryer is. It is listed on a tag, usually located behind the control panel of the dryer.
The connection configuration is quite different than an electric range cord. The connection has two straight blades and one blade bent at 90 degrees. The cord is pictured here for your convenience.
