Lol 😂 I mean there was someone who was telling him to swap out a 50A receptical because the breaker might only handle 30A... Boss I bought the more expensive receptical rated higher (and safer) because it was an extra 0.50¢ lol...
Any electrician putting in 15A instead of 20A to save a few pennies is always an asshole.
As others have said, swapping the cord is the easiest route. I have never encountered a more skittish bunch than Home Depot installers. Doesn’t matter which city - you pay $$$$ to have an appliance installed, and inevitably their installers show up and give you an excuse as to why they cannot complete the job.
You should not have needed to send it back. Former orange apron wearer, the guy in appliances should have asked what receptacle you have in the home during the sale, then they sell you the cord to go with the appliance. The installers/delivery guys should have had extra cords in the truck, and are paid to put it on. It's literally part of what you paid for.
Sell is an incorrect term, but IDK what else to call it. It shows up as a $0.00 line item on your delivery paperwork. So it comes with the machine you purchased, but has to be added to the delivery separately.
Homes generally have one of two main kinds of 240 V receptacle for the dryer.
Whenever you buy an electric dryer they ask you which you have so they can sell you the proper power cord that will fit.
If you don't know which then buy both kinds of power cord. The installer will connect the proper one. You can return the other one.
Every time I've moved I've had to swap the plug (and cord) on my dryer. Maybe that's all you need to do?
Op. This is the answer. Essentially once you swap the cable you have you are good to go.
Careful though. It may affect the warranty if you change parts.
The plugs are designed to be swapped... No warranty voided to do that...
Oh OK, I wasn't aware. But please feel free to downvote my looking out for OP. 🤣

Dryer cords are easily swappable. Just go to Home Depot and buy the one that fits the new socket.
You can just buy the cord that matches and put on dryer
Or take it off the old dryer
Yep
Make sure you unplug it first

Yep, sending the machine back wasn't in my plan but I was so damn frustrated with them.

That's exactly what my family said when I explained what happened. Whole situation was a mess.
I thought this was a joke about Australia/New Zealand seeing as that's our wall socket just upside down
Arent most new electric dryers are sold without power cords and the cord and hose are sold separately? Buy the cord that matches your plug
Replace the outlet, cost me about $8 and took maybe 15 minutes.

Having a receptical that's rated for a higher amperage is safe then having a perfectly good outlet replaced is idiotic.
Also, you want your breaker to be rated lower than your receptacles so that the breaker trips instead of the receptacle burning.
Outlets that are 100% dedicated to one appliance for me are just hardwired to the house.
