Fortnights holiday washing including a 6 month old and 4 year olds clothes (which are never ending).

Thanks everyone

Thanks. Out of interest what is the difference between the 1 gang to 2 gang converter and a 1 gang to 3 gang converter if only 2 plugs are being plugged in. Just want to understand why there is a problem and how going from a 1 to 3, to a 1 to 2, will help/make a difference? I will do the test...

I just turned the mains switch off in the fuseboard to take the face plate off. Anyway these are the two for the sockets in the house. Does that help?

How do I check that?

The one in the plug for tumble is 13A, the one in plug for washing machine is 13A and the one in 3 gang socket on wall is 13A.

It is a 13A fuse.

Judging from this photo i assume at one point there was only the one plug socket there as there is only one set of black and red wires going to it.

Thanks. I guess thats not a simple DIY job?

So what would the suitable set up be for both to be used at the same time, if there is one.

Ok i will take it off the wall and have a look when this wash has finished. I will try and post a pic after. Thanks

Not rented no.

Yeah we just got back from holiday so lots of washing so whilst one lot is drying another lot is being washed. What do I do about the size difference between the 2 gang and 3 gang one? Am i correct in assuming the 2 gang would be smaller in length? So we shouldnt be using both together? Thanks

Hi No extensions are used. Just fixed wall plug sockets with just the tumble and washing machine plugged directly into it (in the wall). If washing machine or tumble are used on their own no smell and no heat from the socket on the wall, if both used then heat from socket on wall and smell...
