Older stoves and cloths dryers sometimes used a common ground/neutral
to provide 120v for lamps and timer motors, but the new code and all
new appliances require a 4 conductor plug and wiring. Two hots, a
neutral, and a ground. It's a safety thing...

More precisely, should have read:

...all new 220v appliances that need the use of 120vac for
lamps/motors/etc. require a 4 conductor plug and wiring...

FWIW
