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.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
