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.

Maybe so... but that's not what he meant. Switches intended for use with 120V
typically disconnect only the hot conductor. 240V has *two* hot conductors,
and so a double-pole switch is required, to disconnect *both* hot conductors
at once.


Yeah, Al already beat me up over my slipup...had a toller moment
there...
