My neighbor referred me to some friends of his that are selling a stackable washer/dryer combo. I just went and looked at it and it looked great, so I paid them with a check and came home. At the time I looked at it, he specifically said that it take a 220 outlet, and I even looked at the plug and said "Yep, that's what I have for an outlet". Then I came home and realized that is NOT what I have. I don't know what I have, but it isn't the same. The plug he showed me kind of looked like a face, with the top two prongs at an angle and then a third bottom prong. Well, my outlet is more like a plus sign pattern, with four prong slots at 12, 3, 6 & 9 O'clock positions. Next to that outlet is a regular 110 outlet.
What can I do? Is it a big deal to change my outlet to a 220? I'm getting a FANTASTIC deal on this washer/dryer and I don't mind paying someone to put a 220 in if it's a simple thing to do. Can anyone tell me if this is an easy fix or if I should skip getting the washer/dryer? I was so excited, and now I'm bummed!
