If using a power supply cord:

Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain: A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt `32;`32;minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends. A UL listed strain relief. Go to page 5 for the type cord you need.
