Can you use UK appliances in the us?
Not unless the appliance is rated to be used with the two different power supplies. The US uses 120v, 60 Hz if it plugs into a receptacle, and possibly 240v, 60Hz if it is hard wired. The UK uses 240v, 50Hz whether it plugs in or is hard wired. These two power systems are NOT compatible. You may use a US appliance in the UK, and vice versa, only if the appliance is dual rated, i.e. the appliance says 120v/60Hz AND 240v/50Hz on the nameplate. If the appliance only specifies one power supply, it can only be used on that power supply. If this is the case, you may be able to use a travel adapter to operate the appliance.

Is there an adaptor to plug a 220V European washing machine into a US 220V dryer socket?
It is not advisable to use a 220 volt 50 Hertz machine on 240 volt 60 Hertz system. The voltages match and are interchangeable but it is the frequency that is the problem. Appliances that are strictly resistive in nature are interchangeable but when it comes to appliances that have motors involved it is not advisable to use a 50 Hz motor on 60 Hz system as, the motor will have problems with overheating..Another AnswerWhile the original answer is absolutely correct, I was able to operate my UK front-loader in Canada for many years without a problem. But this was back in the days when front loaders weren't very common in North America and I had no choice.

Probably not because all UK appliances work on 240 v while in the USA they work on either 120 v or 240 v. You need to check which voltage your power inverter works at.
