Re: Whirlpool
K Thanks.
Yes, we have never before had this problem. All the electrical goods we have ever shipped to 110v areas have worked. The only problem I can ever remember was when I had to fit a different sized spindle to a record turntable to get it to turn at the right speed, so any extra input from yourself or anyone else would be greatly appreciated.

K, Thanks but it is currently wired to a 220v 60hz wall socket and it will not work. Whirlpool say it is because the machine is 50hz so I have been assuming the problem is a sensor in the machine which does not like 60hz- do you think it is the voltage which is the problem then?
MikeRe: Whirlpool
Thanks K
Could you possibly be a bit more specific so that I know I need to look for in terms of a step up transformer to get the correct regulated one which will get the dishwasher going at 50hz???

Hi K
Thanks for the reply. My knowledge of electrics is not so hot so could you possibly give me some input on the following:-
Turning the socket back to 110v then using a step-up transformer is not any problem as there are plenty of transformers available- the other half of the island runs on 220v 50hz!!!!- but will the 220v coming out of the step-up not also be at 60hz- which is what I had assumed to be what was stopping the dishwasher from operating…….
Thanks
Mike
