USING 50 CYCLE APPLIANCES HERE

Both of your machines should work fine here if you properly change the plugs as described in the last post. The washer will spin and tumble 15% faster and the cycle time will be 15% faster YAY. The DW pump will produce a little more pressure as it is running 15% faster and as stated the overall cycle time will be up to 15% shorter. Probably again a big improvement.

 

You either have 240 volts or 208 volts at your home there is no 220 power in the US anymore, either one of these voltages should work fine. I have had several European 220- 50 cycle washers and dryers here for years and they work just fine, except that the dryers tend to tumble too fast so the clothing tends to cling to the drum and doesn't dry properly, so those dryers actually ended up getting recycled. But they did run just fine for many hours.

If you are running the 50Hz machine on 60Hz and want the orig operating speeds-can you get the 60Hz pulleys from the device builder-the deal I faced in adapting tape recorders at the place I used to work at to run on 50Hz power and vice versa.The tape machine maker provided 50 or 60 Hz pulleys or capstans so the machine would run at the proper speed.for some recorders the capstan motor(the part that determines tape speed)was referenced and derived electronically so the power line primary frequency wasn't an issue(Otari,Studer-Revox decks).the same could be said for appliances-if the motor(s) in it have electronically derived speeds-then the powerline frequency would not matter.On the tape machines-they could be tapped to run on 120V,208V,or 220-240V by selecting power transformer taps in the machine.

Perhaps you're going to have some issues with the drain pump. I always have this kind of issue when I buy any washer in Argentina.
50hz drain pumps won't run correctly in 60hz. Luckily, they are very easy do replace and you don't need to reclace the full pump, only the electric part of it.

If you can't find a 220V pump, I can send from Brazil (here we have both 127V and 220v 60hz)

The machine will run a little bit faster, but it's not significant or harmful. And the best of it, you'll have faster spins.

And about the plug, I recommend that instead of an adapter that could be overloaded and melt, you simply cut the power cable and install an standard plug, always repecting the ground prong
