I'm not up on electrical stuff....

Aren't (most) dryers here running on 240v?

Does the washer have any ratings ? can it handle 240v @ 60Hz?
If so... might be able to run a 240V line over into a 240V plug-in.
If the 220V prongs don't match any North American 240V plug-ins... might be able to change the cord to a North American 240V plug?

Even then I'm not sure if this is ok/safe.... I would definitely check with an electrician.
