Hello,
I am replacing my washing machine which is currently hard wired beneath the kitchen shelves. It' supply is coming from a switch with inbuit fuse (image here).
I am thinking of installing a 13A socket for plug of my new washing machine beneath the shelves to remove hard wiring.
1) Is it advisable to use 13A socket to remove hard wiring which gets supply from a switch(with a fuse) as described above?
2) The new washing machine plug also has got a fuse in it. My worry is, Is this ok to plug in the new washing machine(having a plug with a fuse) to the socket (which I am going to install in point 1) which already gets supply from a fused switch(image here) as described above?
So this way I'll have two fuses in the supply one from the switch and second from the washing machine plug. Is that ok?
Sorry for these questions as I am novice in this area.
Thanks in advance.[/url]
