Plug the washing machine into the socket... It would seem, what’s so difficult about that?
What mistake can be made when performing this simple action?
Oddly enough, many housewives make a very serious mistake over the years.
It can lead to very dangerous consequences.
How not to turn on the washing machine
Remember an important rule: only direct connection of the washing machine to the socket is allowed.
An extension cord cannot be used for this purpose.
The reason is simple: the washing machine is too powerful a device for the tee.
The extension cord may simply not be able to handle the enormous load. The device may overheat. It is even possible that a fire may occur.
The situation will become even more dangerous if other devices are connected to the device.
In addition, water can get on the tee. And the cord can fray. All this increases the risk of electric shock.
So, stop plugging your washing machine into an extension cord: it's very dangerous.
Care must also be taken when connecting the device to a separate socket. Make sure in advance that the latter is grounded.
