Hi, all. You all helped me get a new plug onto my Asko 10505 washer and it's all plugged in. I may rent to someone who needs the "matching" dryer. It is still in another residence and is hardwired into the wall. If I move it to stack on top of the washer, can I have someone reattach the wire...

Hi, Togglesmith/Steve. I've gotten as far as stripping the wires and will screw them into the new plug tomorrow and give it a try (been sidetracked with plumbing repair projects, fixing mistakes made by a tilesetter, a carpenter, etc!) Your approach is definitely less expensive than bringing in...

While I didn't yet plug the new male plug into the old female receptacle because of the awkward location but it definitely lines up (I was afraid I might drop the plug into the sheetrocked in space and never be able to retrieve it, without it being attached to a cord, but didn't get to tying it...

Photo 3 just in case the receptable wasn't clear (the outlet is on a proper wall, which got sheetrocked off from the closet, so we had to cut through for access--it may not be as funky as it looks--it is affixed to the wall)

Photo 2 receptacle (I hope this is working)

Photos Hi Steve. I will try to upload three photos--two of the existing receptacle and one of the plug that was on the Asko (that I have now cut off which revealed the black, white and green wires). I didn't make a photo of the plug they sold me, but it's as I described above. Thank you again...

Meanwhile... Okay. I took a photo of the receptacle and took it to the store where all the electricians buy their supplies. I also cut off the three prong plug. The store took one look at the photo and sold me a Cooper plug with only THREE prongs, one of which is the L-shape, compatible with...

Sudsmaster, yes, my plug is as you describe--three prongs, two at angles to one another and definitely for 220 (it was plugged into a three prong receptacle that I have now had a chance to look at, back at the apt). If I understand your suggestion correctly, I can get a new "receptacle plug"...

Oops. Forgot to provide this info. The manual says that the plug supplied with the machine is "intended for connection to a single-phase supply. The supply must be earthed." (I have no idea what this means.)

Wow. Lots of good info! I have now checked the manual (perhaps a little late on that obvious step) and the machine is okay to be supplied by 208-240v. So that answer is final. That leaves the question of changing the plug myself--the cheapest solution--versus having the expensive electrician...

PS To answer your exact question, neither of my outlets looks like the photos. The 110/20amp outlet is a regular outlet, just like ones for a lamp. The 220/30 amp is the four prong, really big kind.

Togglesmith, thank you so much. I should have thought to look at the plate already. Here is what it says: M (in a circle) 240 W P (in a circle) 35 W 1000 rpm 10-100N/cm2 It also says WM 90A 60h2 1960 w 2200w 10A UL listed 4P85 They plug looks as though it would easily fit into either of the...

Thank you, Jon. This may not be all bad. I took a photo, then realized I don't have the cord to download into my computer. If I look directly at the plug--at the side with the prongs--there are two ordinary looking flat prongs above one round prong that is centered between the other two. The...

Hi. I moved an Asko 10505 from an apartment to a house in a rural area, thinking I'd save money, compared to buying a new washer, and save water, since the house is on a well. I thought the washer was 110, but a paper taped to the side said it was 240. The plug is three-pronged, with a round...
