Default New dryer install - use the same cord and outlet?

Question: Didn't the dryer come with a cord attached? It
had to have had one if it was bought legally. In such case,
the receptacle MUST accept the supplied plug on the dryer.
IF it came without a plug, and you are in North America,
then the UL/CSA integrity has been broken and this is not a
legal device. Your home or renter's insurance would look
down on such a thing if it caused a fire; as in, not
covered.


Not to doubt you but I have never bought a dryer or stove that came
with a cord attached... They always sell them extra at some ridiculous
mark up. When did they change this?
