excellent information gentlemen. thank you.
one final question - I would like to place this dryer further from the
plug receptacle than the current dryer cord set allows. is there some
reason that the length of a cord set is limited (it appears) to about 6
feet? can/should a competent electrician be able to install a longer
dryer cord which would allow me to position the dryer say 10 feet from
the receptacle?
