220v plug has green on plug and in outlet but dryer works fine. I took photo of plug and outlet
Called verdigris and is corrosion from electrical current ( sort of like an electrolysis)
turn off the power , use contact cleaner and a rag to clean the pins and inside the contacts
possible reason is humidity, arcing in the outlet, dust in the air , loose pin in the sockets
SOURCE: Plugged into 220V outlet by mistake! Help!
I don't know for sure, but I suspect that if you open it up, there should be a fuse near the power supply portion of the unit. It may have taken the hit for you and can perhaps be replaced easily. (As a disclaimer... be sure the unit is not plugged in when you open the case! And only replace the fuse with another of equal rating.) If it's not a fuse, then you probably smoked the primary winding of the transformer. If it got past that, you may have popped the rectifier and/or capacitor(s) in the power supply.
SOURCE: accidentally plug in to a 220v outlet, so mine is
remove the rear cover and replace the fuse.

I would say no. I have never heard of a 220V washing machine, as a washing machine has no need for 220V. In any case though you would need to get the appropriate wire, cord and outlet and install a separate circuit for the washing machine.

It's either you convert the 3-prong outlet to 4-prong or the 4-prong cord to 3-prong. But the latter is easier and more feasible. Unplug the dryer then disconnect the 4-prong cord from the dryer. Note that it has red, black, white, and green/yellow wires but sometimes the red and black wires are both replaced by same color wire, usually gray. The red and black wires are lines L1 and L2 reversibly, meaning they can switch places, while the white and green/yellow wires are the neutral line and ground, respectively.
Get yourself a 3-prong cord and note that it has red , black, and white wires but sometimes, like the 4-pronged one, the red and
black wires are both replaced by same color wire, usually gray and can also switch places. All you have to do now is connect these 3 wires in the same manner they are connected as 4-prong cord to the terminal block. The wire strapped to the dryer cabinet and connected to the green/yellow wire of the 4-prong cord wire is now left hanging. The last step is to connect this hanging strap wire to the same terminal on the terminal block (center) where the white wire (neutral) is connected and it's done.
It can be observed that converting a 4-prong cord to 3-prong cord is merely joining the neutral line (white) and the ground (green/yellow) thereby reducing the number of prongs from 4 to 3. On the other hand, converting a 3-prong cord to 4-prong cord is merely splitting the neutral
line and the ground thereby increasing the number
of prongs from 3 to 4. The link below might enlighten you further on this matter.

Go to your electricians store and ask if they have a converter plug, Don't go to a Homedepot type place, go to the specialty place where electricians go. Their depth of knowledge is way better.
