Default 3 phase motor and VFD questions

3-phase motor on a washing machine? Must be an industrial device, not hardly an over-the-counter consumer device.

With that in mind, you will need a simple 3-phase VFD, as a single device. They may be had with little fuss and at a reasonable cost. Such as:

Only one of many options.

Do check that the motor is well-and-truly 3-phase, however.

As I stated in my post I do have already a VFD that would work except
that I think it only outputs 120 volts. And the motor nameplate says
on it that it is a 3 phase induction motor. The voltage and frequency
are listed as being variable. But Jeff L. suggested that it may be
jumperable so I will need to check the manual. I didn't even think it
may be able to output 120 volts.
