Im living in the Philippines. I bought a U.S made whirlpool washer and dryer which requier a 220v electrical connection. Here in Philippines the electrical wiring is 220v all around not 110v like in the U.S, can I modify or change the big 3 prong electric cord to a regular/smaller 2 prong electric cord ? Thank you!
John, Unfortunatly, no. You will be overloading the smaller conductors of the circuit you connect it to. You need to wire a receptacle to you panel with cable that will handle the 30Amp load. You could buy the parts and pieces on line and have them shipped if they are unavailable locally.
