X-15 in Jamaica Video: Powering a U.S. Washer + Gas Dryer with True 120V/60Hz Output

Doing laundry abroad shouldn’t mean settling for smaller loads, longer cycles, or “good enough” results.

In this customer install video, an X-15 is using the included wall mount plate and is set up to run a U.S. washing machine and a U.S. gas dryer in Jamaica, so the appliances receive the kind of power they were designed around: 120V / 60Hz.

That matters because even in places like the Caribbean where the plugs look familiar, the frequency can differ, and frequency is a big deal for motor-driven appliances, compressors, and modern control boards.

Why this is especially useful for laundry setups:

• Washers rely on motors + electronics that expect stable, in-spec power for normal performance.
  
• Gas dryers are a great match because electricity typically powers the motor/controls while gas provides the heat—so you keep the familiar U.S. dryer experience without needing a massive electric-heating load.
