Is it mandatory to use a 4 prong power cords on installation of new dryers in Alexandria, VA? Manufacturer is indifferent. Distributors claims warranty will be invalidated if I use a 3 prong, but not true according to the manufacturer.

as far as I am aware there is no such code, if you currently have a 3 prong outlet you can use a 3 prong cord. This in no way will make your manufacturers warranty invalid.
