Yes, Dave is right. The laundery machine is connected to a 220v outlet. The lower voltage measured is 217 and the highest is 222.

    Hi Carlos,

    If you are getting your power from a 3 phase line, and you have 120 
    volts then there should be only 208 volts across the two phases. I ran 
    into that problem at a military installation I was at one time. There 
    was no 240 volts to be had. Only 120 and 208 or 3 phase. The amp would 
    not work well on the 208.

  It depends on the configuration of the transformer feed the outlet, either "Y" or "Delta".  It is conceivable that a small transfomer could be obtained to perform the conversion and thereby raised the voltage.
