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

Far as I know it's never changed. HOWever, it also depends
on what country you're in, which is why I asked if it was
North America or where? In the UK for example, hardly
anything comes with a cord, but in the US, an electric dryer
will always come with a cord attached, which also is the
correct NEMA. All you have to do is plug it into a correct
receptacle for the supplied plug.
You CAN get them without cords, if you ask and the
retailer is willing, but ... that's not the norm. Normally
you just "plug it in" unless it's a hard-wire or some
special job. I'm beginning to think the OP isn't in NA but
haven't looked at all the threads.

You have things backwards. Bought my first electric dryer 23 years ago and
no cord. my son recently bought one - - - no cord. Dealer says none of them
have cords.

The Maytag manuals show the cord as "not included".

G'day,
Y'all should get your appliances in Canada, they ( dryers and ranges )
come with a cord ( manditory ) and only one style of an cord for each
appliance which is a lot less confusing!
The normal built in stuff of course doesn't have a cord ( d/w, ovens,
cooktop ).
