We recently moved and have a stackable washer/dryer that runs off 220v. The new place has no 220 plug for the washer/dyer and we cannot have one installed so I have developed a way to do it that I believe would be safe.
Using a new pigtail from a stove I want to wire that into a junction box with a 4 wire 3 way 220v 40a switch. Out of the junction box on one side will use 8/3 wire to a stove outlet in a proper junction box since the stove is rated at 40 amp. On the other side with 10/3 wire use a 30 amp breaker box since the dyer is a 30 amp appliance. From the breaker box use 10/3 wire to a dryer outlet in a proper junction box. This will plug into the existing stove outlet for the source power and now would supply outlets for both the dryer & stove. But with the 3 way switch neither would be on at the same time.
From the source and 3-way switch
-> off
-> (8/3) stove outlet
-> (10/3) 30a breaker -> (10/3) dryer outlet
My question is does this sound like it would work safely? If so where can I find a 3-way switch like I mentioned?
Thanks for your help.
cheers,
Dan
