According to the experience of a long-time electrician, unplugging the washing machine after use is a simple method that brings significant benefits.
The washing machine is a common household gadget that serves to free up labor, making it extremely helpful in every family. Even though people have been using washing machines for many years, few people realize that plugging them in 24 hours a day uses a lot of energy for your household, despite the fact that it is quite convenient every time you use them.
You should unplug the washing machine after use
Some people think that after washing, there is no need to unplug the washing machine because it is both a waste of effort and does not bring much benefit. However, disconnecting the power source of the washing machine after use actually has more uses than you think.
First, unplugging the washing machine when not in use will help us save electricity.
When plugged in, the device will only be in standby mode and will consume a certain amount of electricity. In addition, the power grid has unstable voltage, the current maintains a sudden increase or decrease, it can affect the circuit and damage the device.
Second, the washing machine is in standby mode for a long time, which means it does not rest. This can reduce the life of the machine.
Third, if there are naughty children in the house who accidentally start the washing machine or touch the plug of the washing machine, it can be dangerous.
Fourth, unplugging the washing machine when not in use also prevents the risk of unwanted short circuits and fires.
However, unplugging the power cord every day can be a bit inconvenient. Therefore, you can install a socket with a switch for the washing machine. Just turn the socket on and off, no need to unplug when not in use. In addition, you can use an external power outlet protection box to keep the socket from getting wet, preventing water and moisture from entering the power outlet.
