The Manufactured Housing Forums

I have a 1990 24x52 Redman and would like to know where in the home I can find out what electrical it has. I want to buy a 3.6 front load washing machine and need to know if my home can accomodate the electricity needed. Thanks

If you home has existing washer/dryer outlets the power should be sufficient.

The washer outlets are standard 110 household current. Ask the folks your purchasing from if you need anything different. I doubt you will. Please return here and share what you find out.

When you get a new Dryer... You may need a different "pig tail" then comes standard. Make a simple sketch showing the alignment of the holes in your dryer plug and take it to the store where you make the purchase. All dryers come with a removable plug wire (pig tail). All appliance retailers carry the alternative type that you will most likely need

I was buying the Whirlpool 3.6 front load washer. The specs needed are as follows.
Electrical requirements 120vac
60hz
15 or 20 amps grounded circuit is required. Time delay
fuse or circuit breaker and seperate circuit is
recommended.
Now I need to know is this costly to have done? thanks

Is there an existing washer and dryer hook up in the home ?

Yes there is an existing washer/dryer hookup in the home, sorry I forgot to mention that information.

Why would you think it would not work ?

Because the washer I want to buy is a front loader and thought I might need more power electrical wise, however the guy at Home Depot has reassured me that my 110 is all I neeed. I do thank you for your help.!
