110 volts vs 220 volts

hehe,

needless to say, a smoke gives out.

occassionally, some power supply is good enough can afford such votage and can auto change it into normal, which power can afford from 98V -- 260V with auto converter.

wish yours is the last one.

Well you probably need to repair it or a new dishwasher or in the worstcase a new house when it starts a fire. Check for input voltage on the sticker.

THATS THE BEST ANSWER WITH A FUN FLAVOUR!!!!

thats what happens an ACCIDENT!!!!

If the neutral wire of the dishwasher is connected to the ground of the dishwasher, it might just trip the circuit breaker. I not you call your home owner's insurance company and tell them how scared your family was when the lightning hit your house.

schpooofff!!! or kkkrrrzzztttt or wang wang wang for (firefighters and ambulance)

It'll run twice as fast and get the dishes clean in half the time. Unfortunately, it will burn out in no time at all.

Next thing that will happen is that you will buy a new dishwasher except that it will run on 220V instead of 110.

Before you get too excited, how is it that you think you applied 220V instead of 110V? Because unless you ran new wiring to your dishwasher, you should not have been able to do it "by accident". Many people are confused as to how US wiring systems are configured, please describe what you did. And don't be embarassed, we don't know who you are ...

Did you move to a foreign country where they only have 220V? If so, you needed a new dishwasher anyway!

Please call 911 and run fast!

The replacement motor will likely only cost 1/2 as much as a new dish washer. If you are a handy man you can fix it. If you knew what you were doing, you likely would not have fried the motor.

Think about it!

I wouldn't worry too much about the motor, Motors seem to be able to handle pretty good jolts for short periods. Microprocessors however get fried whenever the max rating is exceeded by a few tenths of a volt. Probably every solid state component on the control board is fried.

with many electrical devices once the smoke escapes they will not function anymore. There is generally no facility for replacing the smoke and none of the parts stores sell replacement electrical smoke. To put it briefly, once the smoke escapes, you have been burned.

Hi.. If u have only connected to the 220 V, Wall outlet / socket, please donot switch On the Switch. Find a 110 V, wall outlet / socket, switch ON and work.

Regards

Nothing - which is the experience you feel when it blows up !

When I connect my 110V water cooler with 220V accidently it was running till I notice my mistake after one hour.Then continue with normal voltage. But, next day I heard a sound of explosion inside the cooler.That was water pump. I replace the pump. cost 30 s/r. Fan motor still running. I am expecting another explosion.Replacement may cost more than 200 s/r.

It would wash, rinse and spin dry at twice the normal speed. But please allow adequate cooling.

RTR,

Great question and got great answers.

Unless you hard-wired it into the wrong panel, I doubt you COULD do this, even on purpose. 110 plugs are significantly different from 220 plugs, so neither can be inserted into the other's outlet. If you DID hard-wire it, all of the magic electrical smoke (as noted by others) would indeed be released, and since that Genie cannot be forced back into the bottle by any known or knowable means, it's back to the appliance dealer wi' ye! _{The house should remain mostly intact...}

Given that 110V utilize different plug connectors than 220V this should not happen.

You may have confused should, and could. Let me quote from my first fire mechanic's seminar. " If you locked up a fireman in a room with three steel ball bearings, he would

1) loose one

2) break one

and 3) blame the other two shifts"

{Firemen usually work in 24 hour shifts. 24 on 48 off}

A common misconception about dishwashers is that they run on electricity. Actually these machines are powered by smoke. If the smoke gets out, it won't run any more.

Hi LENDOQ!

You just repeat what already was said. However, you can learn from one person, ENVIROMAN, who got the only good answer. When I went to China from Canada, all my electrical equipment needed a spacial adaptor(s) to function. So, this epic advanture never happened and someone enjoy fully the responses. Think before talk. I don't know who said that but she/he was smart. Could you be? Wishes from Gil.

It'd be "Up in Smoke Man" without weed or "Cheech and Chong"

When you connect Dishwasher 220v instead of 110 volt .Dishwasher ( fan , motor etc) burn after a moument.

What would happen if I connected my 110v dishwasher to 220v by accident?

Either of two things, followed by a third thing:

1. Your washer still works, so that you breathe a sigh of relief, whereupon you do not search out and post the question on this site, except you are given to morbid curiosities.
2. Your (or your wife's) washer no longer works, whereupon a Web search leads you to post on this site looking for possible cheaper alternatives than calling a service man or replacing the washer.
3. One or more respondents on this site wonders "aloud" on this forum, as to how (and why) you managed to connect a 110V plug into a 220V appliance outlet.

Welcome to CR4.

Guess that about sums it up... ∑

Dear GUEST!

You got that right! When someone calls a service man to buy a new washing machine, this someone is a morone and only she/he plogue the 110 V machine into a 220 V. We have to enjoy life and let them do what they want to do. I will pretty soon become a washing machine selling individual. Time for profits are coming! All the best for those buyers from Gil.

In fact, one of my colleague, while changing out bulb to the holder, fused at least 3 new bulbs and stopped only after we started laughing at what he is doing. He was changing out the bulb on he 220 Vac line with 24 Vac lamp, when you looked at the size and shape were same for type bulbs.You are more clever anyway since only asking with IF Only.

I hope you saved some money out for shopping other than another dishwasher.

If the 220 volt circuit had a low amperage breaker on it, you might be saved. Did the breaker blow?? Did you try to run it after making the 220v connection? If not, you might be OK.

You may simply have to bite the bullet and take it in for repair (or replacement).

For those in North America who are traveling overseas, adapters are available for connecting to foreign mains. THESE ARE MECHANICAL ADAPTERS ONLY!! Check that all electrical / electronic equipment you take with you will work on both 110v and 220v. If not, leave them at home. CNpower mentioned the voltage range that most of the equipment works at (for both mains power).

Now that most including myself have made their little humorous pun,. Besides the fact that you had to either had to cut the end off the electrical cord and replace it with the wrong one, or incorrectly hardwire the machine, or miswired at the panel it is just about impossible to do.

If somehow this did happen ,if you're lucky there may be a control fuse or circuit breaker located in the machine that prevented any damage, you might want to check for that.

If it's a new machine it likely uses electronics and its controlling should be current projected. Just hope Murphy didn't get there before you did.

Murphy's Law "A $300 picture tube will protect a $.10 fuse by blowing first".

I think that a good quality machine should have a fuse to act [Slow-blow fuses used in WOUN-COMPONENTS for protection] but @ double thr supply voltage even slow-blow will act fast to protect from burning.

Have a good Day
