Cant do that.

TBH there are a few things you can do, but IMO the best thing is to pawn it off like someone mentioned (ala ebay) and buy a NA washer that runs on 60hz 120 ac like everything else this side of the atlantic.

Convert it if you want, but myself would use something that is made for NA 60hz cycle as to protect wiring, insulation, ect. Check the plate on your washer to insure it can be operated on either 110-230V 50/60hz before investing in a transformer.

Well after reading this site, and actually trying to get this washing machine figured out I found out there's a plug on the back of the dryer that fits that confusing plug from the washing machine: http://www.designjournalmag.com/prod...ofile_2857.htm

So I plugged it in, and it does work. The specs on the back of the dryer say this unit runs at 208-240V and 60Hz, which I'm pretty sure is ok for over here. I'm still gonna wait to use it til I get a formal ok from an electrician, but thanks for all the help guys.
