I have been using Kenmore Ultra fabric Care Heavy Duty 80 Series washer model # 110. 92284100, stock # 22841, serial # cc 3083945 for the last 10 years & performance was very good. Machine rating 120v, 60Hz, 10A. I shifted this machine to in Pakistan. Voltage is 220v, 50Hz. Used auto transformer rating: 2000VA, 127/220V, 50/60Hz. Primary 127V/16A, secondary 220V/10A. During running machine stopped w/o completing the cycle. The TX & machine cable became very hot. Measured input/output current as 8-9A/16-18A. I reduced input voltage thru another TX to 202V and output of 220/127V TX was reduced to 117V and currents measured again as 8A/14A. I have no option except to use at 220V, 50Hz with some transformer.
Need expert opinion/solution to reduce current below 10A so that machine could work without heating. Do I need to reduce the voltage to 100-105V, will it work and will it not heat up due to change of frequency. Please suggest.
