Must be a hell of a washing machine. That's a 30 amp four wire. It appears
by your symbol that your outlet is 30 amp three wire. If you have a four
wire cable feeding the outlet, you can change the receptacle to match the
cord set, if not, you can probably replace the cord set with a three wire to
match the existing receptacle, although I would check with the manufacturer
to be sure. On some model appliances they require separate neutral and
ground conductors

(which is three prong /L\and this plug is four prong).

Very many thanks in advance!
