hello,
my first visit here, so apologies if this is REALLY basic.
my washing machine cut-out mid-cycle, and despite clearing out the filter (which usually does the trick), no joy.
i checked the plug and the fuse has "properly" blown: much of inside of plug had melted and the fuse cartridge was incredibly difficult to remove - the cartridge was obviously made brittle by the heat so the plug is write-off.
there were alos minor scorch marks on the socket where it would have touched the plug.
the plug is one of those self contained efforts you get these days, but i managed to remove it.
i want to buy a new plug, new 13A fuse and re-wire it.
is it safe do you think?
kind regards,
Nicholas
