socks 32,253 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 No it's a solid sealed plug ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,376 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 No it's a solid sealed plug ..... Should be a bit that pulls out for the fuse normally in the centre of the pins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,376 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 https://www.flameport.com/electric/plugs/plugs_in_real_life.cs4 Look on there for type of plug and fuse access Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mhopton 807 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 The lead needs to be fully extended out to stop it over heating but if it's just the short type with say 3-4 sockets on try keeping the plugs closer to the lea 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,190 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Isn't that dodgy running 2 big appliances like that on a extension lead? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slip lead 862 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Most appliances ( because of Regs) work of a sper, most will have a fuse, different amps sizes for different appliances, as said above, just lift up the little red clip, to get to fuse. If no red clip check your fuse box 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,389 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 By one with a built in circuit breaker bout 25-30 notes. It could be the fuse. If not the fuse, its internal so the electrics. Mate washing machines are a cnut and that will need an engineer, so more money 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 In a word, no. Try them in a different lead and see if they work then. The washing machine draws more power than the fridge, the socket on the end of the lead may be burnt out only on that one side, if at all. If the washing machine still doesn't work, try a new fuse in the plug top. 13 amp fuse in the washing machine, 5amp in the fridge. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
