Hi, I'm replacing my dishwasher, but the old dishwasher was hardwired directly into an unswitched fused spur, whereas the new dishwasher has a plug.
There isn't enough room behind the dishwasher to replace the fused spur with a socket, so I'm wondering if I can extend a socket from the fused spur into a better location?
I'm thinking some 2.5mm twin and earth, connecting the existing fused spur to a new surface mounted socket / backing box. Is this clever or crazy?
The alternative is to just chop the plug off and hardwire the new one in as well, but I'm attempting to avoid damaging anything.
Thanks
