Two questions really.
I have a double socket that I intend to use to power a washing machine/dishwasher.
Q1. The socket is faulty, in that only one socket works, I am going to replace it but wonder if fitting an RCD socket is of any benefit given the nature of what will be plugged into it. My house is already fitted with an MK Split CU.
Q2. Is it a problem having both devices plugged into the same socket? dishwasher is used twice a week maybe, washer usually once a week, never at the same time. I guess both could be used at once but would probably trip the breaker?
