You didn't mention whether the voltages are single phase or three phase or whether it is a commercial machine or one used in the home. I am assuming that you are asking about a single phase washer. That being said yes, 208 volts can be stepped up to 440 volts. To have the washer converted would mean finding a 440 single phase motor with the identical frame type that would fit the same configuration that the 208 volt single phase motor now resides in. The control voltage for the internal controls would also have to be changed out to the new voltage. The transformer would cost as much as a new machine so that is out of the question. You might want to price out a new 440 volt machine, sell the old 208 machine and the money that you get for the old machine, apply it to the cost of the new machine.
