Re: Unable to install. Does it have an electric hookup...
Hi, You have to take the cord off of your old dw and install on the new. In the right front corner of your new dw is a metal box. Take the cover off and install your cord using wire nuts. This should get you going. Hope this helps.

Changing from 3 to 4 wire hookup on a electric dryer: Power cord help for 3 & 4 prong dryer cords This is an example of a three wire connection dryer cord hookup. Notice that there is a ground strap connected from the common center terminal to the frame of the terminal block. Place the center wire of the cord on the center terminal [ one with the ground ******** it ] and the other two wires will be placed on the outer terminals and it doesn't matter which wire goes right or left. Get the center wire of the cord right and you are in business. This is an example of the 4 wire dryer cord hookup. Notice that the ground strap has been removed from the terminal block frame and folded back onto the center terminal for storage. You can see the colors of the other hookups. TIP: White always to the middle.
Generally you have to purchase the cord separate from the actual electric dryer. Therefore, call the company and tell them you have a 3 prong outlet, that way they can install a three prong plug. Many times, they bring both plugs with them and do the plug install on site. Enjoy your new dryer!

Essentially, you need a 220 volt hookup kit from any hardware store. Match the plug to your outlet. Several styles are out there. There are three wires in the cable. Knock out one of the holes in the box on the oven. Install a strain relief for the cord into the hole and clamp on the cord. Generally, they're in the kit. The Red and Black wires are 'hot' and white is neutral. The connections are labeled on the stove. Make sure your connections are neat and tight.
