I'd like to answer your question, but there is not enough information to clarify the question.

If you have only a black and a white lead, with no ground lead, then your system needs to be replaced: it will not meet National Electrical Code. 

Tell me about your appliance, your breaker panel, and your access under the house, and I can probably tell you how to make the installation. 

Failing that, your best bet will be a licensed electrician.

Get a three wire power cord. If your home is older and you don't have grounded wiring in your home, run a copper wire from the appliance to a water pipe. They make clamps for that purpose. This will ground the appliance.
