Default Changing 110v to a 220v motor
Model Number: LAT9206BAE   Brand: Maytag   Age: 5 - 10 years   

Hello,
I am living in a country that has 240v 50htz for power and I own a maytag washer that is 110v 60htz. I currently use generator power that produces 60htz and would like to possably change out the motor to a 240v 50htz. I have been very pleased with this washer and was wanting to weigh out the cost involved in replacing the motor or getting another wash machine. What is the cost of a 240 50htz motor, and what would be involved in the switch over?

You would also have to change the power cord, timer, water solenoid and start capacitor.
These should be available in country, I have not seen them here.
