I’m having my kitchen extended/refurbished and I had an electrician round the other day;..he had a look at the wiring changes/upgrades required.
He reckons that free-standing ‘undercounter’ kitchen appliances (dishwasher, fridge etc) can utilize a rear mains socket, but an ‘integrated’ floor standing kitchen appliance cannot utilize said mains socket. He said the floor-standing 'integrated' appliance must be plugged into a socket that is exterior to the ‘integrated’ appliance enclosure.
Is that info kosher?
For what it’s worth he works mainly for a conservatory/roofing firm and he said he doesn’t really do much ‘kitchen’ work.
