Reply to comment by Lee2026 in Replacing the power cord plug on my washing machine? by Daddyyy

Its a 120v outlet on a 15 amp breaker and the washer was less than 15 amps. And 12 gauge wire is rated for up to 20 amps.

Ok cool. Still need to make sure the wiring is thick enough. I understand he stated he’s planning to use a 15 amp cord but that’s doesn’t mean he will actually buy that 15 amp cord. If he changes his mind, I simply stated as long as the gauge is adequate, it will be fine to replace the end
