The question of whether the washing machine is constantly connected to the power grid worries many owners of household appliances.
Experts say that modern washing machines are designed to be continuously connected to the power supply.
Modern washing machines consume minimal energy in standby mode.
Electricity consumption is only 0.5-2 watts per hour, which allows you not to worry about a significant increase in electricity bills.
Permanent connection to the network ensures that settings and washing programs are saved.
The machine's built-in processor requires continuous power to maintain the functionality of its electronic components and real-time clock.
Manufacturers equip equipment with built-in protection systems against voltage surges.
Modern models automatically switch off when critical situations occur in the electrical network, preventing damage to internal components.
Frequent connection and disconnection from the network creates additional stress on the contacts and wiring.
Mechanical impact on the plug and socket can lead to their premature wear and damage to the integrity of the contacts.
The bathroom is considered a high humidity room.
Keeping your machine connected to a quality, waterproof socket is safer than regularly removing the plug with wet hands.
A long absence from home requires disconnecting the washing machine from the power supply.
Possible water supply or electrical wiring failures can lead to equipment failure if the user does not control them.
Installing a voltage stabilizer or uninterruptible power supply increases the security of a permanent connection.
Special water leak protection devices minimize the risk of emergency situations.
Regular inspection of electrical wiring and contacts ensures safe operation of equipment.
Timely replacement of worn-out elements prevents emergency situations and extends the service life of the washing machine.
The washing machine must be connected to a separate power supply line.
The socket must be equipped with grounding and located in an accessible place for quick disconnection if necessary.
