Plug the washer into a grounded three-prong outlet on a 15- or 20-amp 120-volt circuit, and never remove the ground prong or use an adapter or extension cord. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions

- Shock absorber replacement: $150–$300 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a washing machine?
