Q. Are washing machine motors AC or DC?

Answer

It is commonly known as an AC series motor. The universal motor's design is similar to that of a DC series motor, with a few tweaks made to ensure reliable operation while using alternating current. However, DC electricity isn't used by all electronic gadgets. Lighting, laundry, and refrigeration are just few of the many common domestic appliances that run on alternating current (AC), which is supplied directly from the power grid through wall plugs. There is no "better" kind of power than the other; they are both necessary. To the contrary, alternating current (AC) has a stranglehold on the energy industry, with AC current being delivered to buildings via all outlets even in cases where DC current must be converted promptly.
