I have a 220 outlet three feet from a 110 outlet.
When I am using a clothes washer on the 110, it goes dead after a while (10-30 minutes).
No breaker is tripped.
When I turn on the 220 clothes dryer, the 110 washer restarts from where it left off.

Sounds like the 120 volt outlet is connected to the 240 volt outlet for power, which is a violation.
Also sounds like the neutral wire connection is loose, probably in the dryer outlet.
Do not continue to use this arrangement until , first the loose connection is found, as this may damage the washer, or the connection will get worse and heat up and cause a fire.
Second, if the 120 volt oulet is connected to the dryer 240 volt outlet for power, consider having a new 120 volt circuit installed for the washer outlet.
