My tenant says that he has replaced the fuse in the washing machine about 6 times in 2 months. They say the use of the washing machine is about 2x weekly.
Any ideas as to what is causing the fuse to blow this regularly, and anything i can do to stop the problem.
Many thanks in advance.
Are they putting in a correctly rated fuse?
Not too sure mate. i will check when I go round next time. Any ideas on what the fuse should be for a washing machine. I assume 13A?
For a start, you should stop considering the fuse blowing to be a problem - it's not - it's a sign showing there is a problem with the appliance or wiring which is potentially dangerous. At worst this could cause your tenant serious injury or death, and if, as it sounds, you are sitting on a problem which your tenant has notified you about - that would result in extremely serious damage to your bank balance or, dare I say it, your liberty.
Get it sorted out now!
