I'd replace the entire cord, it is actually easier that replacing the plug end. There is a little access panel where the plug enters on the back to get to it. A screwdriver is the only tool you'll need.

True for dryers, since some people have different plugs in their house. But if it's a washing machine with a regular old NEMA #5-15 plug it might not have an access panel like larger 220V appliances.

Exactly, any appliance mod that is in a home that has been repaired like this can void a warranty or insurance on your home. If there is a fire of any sort then they will do their best to find a way to connect it to an appliance that they have found that it's been modified like that.
