New Dryer

I finally moved our broken dryer out to take a look at what was wrong. I was recently convinced that our electric dryer was actually a gas dryer b/c when it was on there was a glow in the back panel that looked like a gas flame. It broke shortly thereafter. And that glow? It left a crisp black burnt spot on the metal back of the dryer. I'm pretty sure that means go and get a new dryer. I think I'm going to Lowe's to get one of these two dryers. They were cheaper than similar models at Sears and Home Depot. My only concern is the Lowe's models say "power cord and venting sold separately." The venting I already have, but a power cord? That seems like a pretty essential piece of the dryer. I hope they don't try to tell me my previous dryer only lasted 30 years b/c I needed to get the undercoating done at purchase time.
