Thanks-
That's exactly what I want to do but I don't want to do it with power coming into the box. I don't know much about electricity except that it can kill me! The receptacle was already replaced and the machine is running off the two circuits, but I don't want to run it that way forever. I've decided to enlist the help of someone who knows a little more about this but I would still like to know how to turn off the main power 'cuz if he electrocutes himself I'll need to know how to cut the power to drag his body away from the wires.

Mary,
Can't help you with the main power switch, but you can turn you 110v lines into a 220v by combining both 110's.
1. Take face plate off of the curcuit breaker box, kill the washer/dryer 15amp breakers, pull the same breaker swithches out.
2. Go to home depot and get a double 30amp switch and single 220v receptical that will accept plug for washer / dryer.
3. Remove old wall receptical and install new one. Wire the washer / dryer with the 220v power cord.
4. Plug new washer / dryer in.
5. Snap new 30amp breaker into the breaker box, switch on and you should be up and running w/ 220v power.
It's easier done than written. I did mine myself.

Has anyone discovered how to turn off the main power to their unit? I am having some electrical work done to accomodate a new dryer (wasn't that GENIUS for Rezmar to supply 110 power to the washer/dryer outlets?) and need to be able to turn off all power to my unit.
