If the neutral is bad, voltage will drop on the circuits that share the same leg with the washer, but voltage will RISE on the other leg. Of course, that assumes the neutral is bad upstream of the meter. If the neutral is bad on the washer circuit, only lights on the washer circuit will be affected.
Get out your voltmeter and first check the voltage (hot to neutral) at the outlet into which your washer is plugged. You should see the same swing you see in your lights. Then go to the breaker panel and measure the voltage from the circuit breaker to neutral. If you see the same swing, then the problem is upstream of the circuit breaker, maybe a loose terminal screw on the main breaker or meter. If there's no swing at the breaker box, you have a problem in the washer circuit.
To determine if the problem is in the hot or the neutral conductor, just measure the voltage between neutral and a known good ground. If it swings with the washer, you have a bad neutral.

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
