Replace the cord. Lots of good advice here, but one I didn't see mentioned, a washing machine moves a lot, that will be transferred to the cord. Sometimes the load will shift and the washer will "walk" several feet, putting lots of stress on the cord. You don't want the weak point to be the plug end you put on, you want the cord to pull out of the wall if the washer walks that far.

I had a washing machine walk several feet into the kitchen and make a sandwich.

It can happen.

If you wash something heavy like towels or a blanket, it can definitely move at least a couple of feet.

I was thinking the same thing. Easy to change and they’re cheap.
