This isn't an answer- it's from the questioner :) Just to clarify: This is the small, apartment-sized, stacked washer-dryer unit. They used to commonly come in 110V. They are still out there but old and sell for same price used as the used newer 220V. So we'd like to buy a newer used 220V and convert if possible and safe. Don't know the watts on these, tho. But must not be as large as regular sized dryers?
You cannot plug a 240V appliance directly into a standard 120V outlet as it can cause damage or be a safety hazard. You would need a dedicated 240V outlet and possibly a step-down transformer to safely use the appliance. It's recommended to consult an electrician for proper installation.
The outlet may have a wiring issue causing a short circuit or an overload of current flow. It's important to have the outlet inspected by a qualified electrician to identify and fix the problem to prevent further damage or fire hazards. Avoid using the outlet until it has been properly repaired.
You would have to run new wires to obtain 240 volts or use a step-up transformer.
Disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse to that outlet. Then disable or replace the outlet. This is fairly easy and you can buy a new outlet at a home improvement store for a couple of bucks. If you are not comfortable working with these sorts of things call an electrician.
Without knowing where you are, it is hard to give you the correct answer. There is a Running Outlet website online that has a huge amount of running clothes for both men and women.
Most electrician use the height of an electrician's hammer to mark the bottom of an outlet box. That height is 18 inches.
If you truly have only 60 Volts from a 120 volt outlet, you need to contact an electrician to help you find the problem. You most likely have a neutral that is not properly tied to the center tap of the service transformer. It is not recommended that you attempt to repair that yourself.

Because the other outlet does not have a charge running to it. Call an electrician.
