Hi all
In our utility room we have a 3 gang way plug socket on the wall behind our tumble dryer and washing machine and if we use them both at the same time the plug socket where the fuse section is gets very hot and starts to smell....a bit like fish. The smell is very strong.
However if we use one at a time there is no issue.
Asides from just using one at a time how can this be resolved?
This has only recently started and previously we had a freezer in there too and had the freezer plugged in as well as the washing machine and tumble drier so all 3 were in use at one point.
Its obviously designed for multiple use as it is in a utility room. These arent normal gang way sockets with rocker on/off switches.
Sorry if this should be in the electrics section.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
