Just to recap. Washer broke, out of warranty, decided better value to replace than repair. OK, sounds like a decision people make every single day. What I don't understand is where the value is in getting a 220 volt washer? That would render it useless in almost every residential application without some rewiring and I don't believe your solution meets NEC code. Also, I don't believe it would be a practical choice for an RV since the washer would be inoperative when connected to anything other than properly phased 50 AMP Pedestals. B.
You maybe correct that he needs 50 amp service to operate his washer dryer. But can you do any washing on a 30 amp circuit?
Sure you can wash but don't plan on doing much else. Especially in the summer time if you need AC.
Seems to me if your running a washer/dryer you need 50 amp service for the most part to avoid tripping breakers regardless of the appliance's voltage.
My Splendid equipment is 110 volts. I really can't do any laundry on a 30 amp site without tripping something. Not to mention 110 dryers are no very efficient.
I'm not sure why you are debating his choice. Seems logical to me.
But hey, thanks for the post, otherwise it's been a slow day at the forums.
I can not use my washer or dryer on 30A since it's single phase. I don't plan on being on 30A but if I do I have a gen.
Washer is 12A and dryer is 14A. That means both legs will have either 12 or 14 A on them if using one at a time. I have 3 AC's I had no problem running all three with washer running on one leg and dryer running 14A when I had a 110V washer. Sure I turned the WH to gas.
220V is much more efficient, it's not for everyone tho!
