It suddenly occurs to me that my own machine has no separate ground
wire, and didn't when I moved in. Is it supposed to?
NO - never did. DRIERS did years ago - NOT washers

I'll disagree on that one, too. As Ralph M posted just above, I well
recall specifically being there and the instructions as he outlined.

I couldn't say when the general practice ended, but relatively recently
for us old codgers for whom 1980 was "just day before yesterday".
I can still remember when washing machines only has 2 wire plugs -
or even a kick-start iron horse.
