It's not the cable that's overloaded, it's the double socket.
In the fusebox. Or better yet use double sockets that can take 26A.

the dryer is 3kW continuously for an hour and a half. So all the time the washer is heating, that's 6kW.

Yes. And each plug has a 13A fuse, so you can't take more than 26A.

Takes a while to heat water. Look up the specific heat capacity.

Yes so how much are you heating that demands 3 kW continuous then;?.
Sure you not driving a steam engine;?..
Or does you understanding of the word "continuous" differ from how most anyone else might understand it??..

A washing machine full.
It's long enough to melt the double socket. They're rated at 20A and they should be rated at 26A, like the MK ones are.
