Ask:
Did you know you are supposed to do this every 3 years? I did not and we bought appliances and then when they were delivered they don't come with cords now due to government saying you have to replace them every 3 years.
Answer:
No, I've never heard that.
I know an electric stove doesn't come with a power cord but I always assumed that had to do with the UL approval (or lack thereof).
Answer:
I have never heard of that but if that is the case then I better get changing mine!!
