Washing M/C & Dishwasher Switched Supplies

[Mark Elvin]

Something has been puzzling me about the wiring in out kitchen.

The dishwasher & washing M/C are not built, however the washing M/C has a wall mounted switch to isolate it without needing to pull it out. The dishwasher however does not, seams a little odd to me.

The wiring is untouched since the place was built in 1999.

maybe they where installed at different times, ie the washing machine installed, then decided at a later date the get a dishwasher and just plug it in, or one upgraded and the other not.

I did say the wiring is untouched since the house was built in 1999.

have you lived in it since new, installation get modified all the time during builds.
How old's the kitchen, could quite easily, manipulated what was there to make a new or a different than the one originally planned kitchen fit.

We have lived in it since new, we have (until now) had no modifications carried out to the kitchen.

You may not have but at the build stage things can change, what are your neighbours kitchen like in comparatione.

It's the same.

In a bizzare twist, the bloody dishwasher packed up last night, so just in time for the new kitchen build I have ordered a semi-integrated one (which I'll be popping a switch above the worktop for)
