Hello everyone,
I am a new member seeking to find some answers to how I can connect my two American appliances (GE range..PD968 & Maytag Dryer MEDB750) to work here in the Philippines.
I understand our 220v in America has two 110v wires and a ground wire but here in the Philippines, there are no GROUND here and they run a single 220v wire with a neutral wire. All two prongs.
I was confused as to how I can make this work so I called one of the local appliance repair shops here and they tried a couple of methods. One, they connected the black wire and the red wire to their power line and took my white and ground wires to their Neutral line. This made the dryer work as normal for about 15 seconds and it would shut off thereafter.
They tried this same method with my range but nothing worked. Then they took only the black wire to their power line and took the Red wire along with White and ground wires all together and connected them to their Neutral line. This made the stove top work on the range but not the oven. The touch screen came on for about 5 minutes and then it shut off and never turned on again. Very similar symptoms as the dryer but my stove top keeps working. Just not the oven.
I don't have any idea who else I can call so here I am hoping some of you on this forum might be able to help. Please let me know if there is something I can do to make my appliances work. Thank you.
