2 Appliances 1 socket

[JoeK1916]

Hi,
I've just bought a dishwasher. The only handy available socket is for the fridge\freezer. Can I put an adapter in that socket (fridge\freezer and extension lead in adapter) then run the extension lead to the dishwasher ? Would this be safe.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Joe.

no it won't..


you should not use adapters for appliances..
the dishwasher has a heating element and draws a fair few amps when operating..

You don't mention a fused adapter either which makes it worse..

if there's a socket there, then assuming it's not a spur already then run another socket from it..

They do things differently in the Maldives..

Thanks lads. Had an idea it wasn't the thing to do. Yep, have a socket I can run a spur from, it just involves removing a few tiles, and drilling in a small space, which I was trying to avoid.
