Got ours and no cord...and apparently others have told me same thing, that you buy a new one, the cord is not included/attached... _________________________ Ray Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

MCA Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/09/06 Posts: 4540 Loc: Illinois	The 3 wire cords are for "grandfathered-in pre-1996NEC" circuits with 3 hole receptacles. 3 hole dryer and range receptacles don't meet the current code. If it is a new circuit you must use the 4 hole receptacle and 4 wire cord. If the existing receptacle is a 4 hole you must use a 4 wire cord. If the existing receptacle is a 3 hole and installed when it was allowed then the cord can be a 3 wire. There is a different installation method for each type of cord since the bonding jumper needs to be treated differently depending on if its a 3 wire or 4 wire cord.
