Video Home » How to Prep for Electric Dryer Delivery and Install

Thanks for trusting Best Buy to deliver and install your new electric dryer. Here are some things to do before the delivery day to make sure you'll have the best possible experience. For starters, walk the path, try to avoid stairs, tight turns, and other obstacles, and make sure the doorways and halls are wide enough to accommodate your new appliance. Next, check your hookups. Make sure you have a ventilation port and a three or four-prong, 220-volt outlet to power your dryer. You'll also need some new parts. A new 220-volt electric dryer cord, and a semi-rigid vent kit. This is important because Best Buy won't reuse existing parts for new appliance hookups. For dryers with the steam feature, you may also need an additional steam dryer hose, depending on the model. If you're stacking the dryer on a washer, you'll need a stacking kit, and possibly some other parts for installation. And if you're planning to put the dryer on a pedestal base, you'll need a new matching pedestal. Finally, be sure to empty your old dryer. These do ahead tasks will help make your installation smooth and trouble-free.
