can i use a washing machine motor in a windmill to produce power?

Answer:

What did you say? Use a washing machine motor?! Wow, why would some1 use a washing machine motor these days?
I was not aware that a windmill needed a motor.Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the wind causing the blades of the windmill to turn?
No. Your washing machine AC motor does not act as a generator. You can however use a car alternator and batteries for storage. Connect this to an inverter for AC power. I helped a friend build one to provide power in a large shed/ workshop.
