Lady Kenmore Washer Model 110.82891120 (90 Series) questions

The ground wire was to be attached to a galvanized cold water pipe grounding the machine in an old home where the electrical outlets were not originally grounded. It is not necessary if your outlets are 3 prong and properly grounded.

Ground wire

I remember our 1955 Westinghouse washer had a ground wire that was clamped to the copper cold water line. The machine had a 2-wire cord. The next machine, a 1964 Westinghouse, had a grounded cord. A new grounded cable and receptacle we're installed for it.
