Convert a 240v plug serving a stacked washer/dryer to 120v plug to serve the washer only

120-240vdryerwasher

I have a stackable washer dryer combo with one 240V plug. The dryer works on 240V and the washer works 120V, but they have 1 control panel. The dryer died and the room only has one 120v and one 240v plug socket. Can I switch out the 240v plug for a 120v plug and get the washer to work? or are my only options either get a new 120v washer and a 240v dryer or add another 240v plug to the wall with a 30amp breaker?

Is this as simple as:

getting a 3 wire 120 cord-set of at least 14 gauge.
connect neutral to neutral terminal
black to black terminal
ground to ground terminal

I have experience with 120v power and I'd like to do this myself if its easy.
