It may need a new switch, one for 220.


For what reason...any UL-listed switch supplied will be rated for at
least 250V and amperage for 110V which is twice the current at 220V.


A switch for 220VAC should be, in the US of A, a 2 pole switch. That is, both hot, ungrounded conductors should be switched. For
the same reason the breaker is a 2 pole device.
