So what do washing machines use, AC or DC?

Water and some sort of cleaning chemicals dependent on personal choice.

Did you not understand the question?

Yes and my answer made as much sense as the question.

The question only had four possible answers - "AC", "DC", "both", or "neither".

I don't know of any washing machine that plugs into a DC supply.

The motor silly.

Every washing machine that I have seen that plugs in has a 3 pin plug on it designed to work from AC.

The motor usually does not have a plug on it.

They may exist I don;t know and care about as much.
Older washing machines were usually run by women turning handles and rubbing clothes on rocks or wash boards.

Were they naked?

No.

No point in having two sets of clothes, just take them off, wash them, then put them back on to dry. Bloody prudes.

Is that one of your fantasies... AC/DC ?

TENS machines are AC.

I know all about current flow, holes in semiconductors etc. But that's irrelevant. I asked if the flow was one way or both.

It's both in AC, it's not in DC

And which is it in the motor?
