European Washer

Scott | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

Hi All.

A friend was given a very nice, almost new, Whirlpool washer, but there is a catch…. 220V 50hz. Any reading I’ve done suggests that it will work with 240V 60hz, although the motor might run slightly faster. Would you agree?

Thx.

    Did you look on the Whirlpool site?

    I looked at several models and they say 50/60hz but you should look at the spec page for that model to be sure.
