I'm in the process of getting my kitchen re-done, and I've gone for an integrated diswasher and washing machine. (To satisfy Part P, all of the major electrical work was conducted by a qualified electrician of course ).
The dishwasher and washing machine both have molded 13amp fuses in them. Because they are integrated, these plugs won't be accessible once worktops go down. Instead, they both plug into a double plug socket, which is on a 13 amp fused spur, so that I have a switch and fuse accessible.
If the ampage did exceed 13 amps, I need the fuse in the spur switch to blow, so that I can replace it - not the fuse in the plug, which is inaccessible. Is there anything that I can do to ensure that the fuse in the plug will not blow and cause great problems trying to replace it?
Thanks
