Did the machine come with a manual? It should tell you how to wire for a
three wire cordset to match your receptacle.

No, it won't.


Why not? Dryers are usually listed for 3 wire or 4 wire cordsets. If
the manufacturer's instructions allow a 3 wire cordset it is perfectly
legal to use one.

The point was in the part that you snipped: match the receptacle, and the
circuit if necessary, to the appliance, not the other way around.

What "dryer", by the way? The OP said he bought a washer...
