Normal grounded outlet position
In this region of the world at least 90% of outlets are installed with the ground connector down for standard 120 V outlets.
Probably 90% of grounded cords where the cord comes out sideways are installed so the cord hangs nicely when the ground prong is at the bottom of the outlet,
The funny thing in the same picture the dryer outlet is installed with the ground down, which actually causes the two hot conductors to be exposed when the cord comes partly out of the outlet to falling, coat hangers, etc.
Reply number 10 we still haven’t heard an explanation for this mythical grounding adapter on the washer as to how it caused the durability or condition of this machine not to be good, I guess Chet’s record, jumped a couple grooves lol
