Ensuring Proper Power Supply and Safety for Your Dishwasher
To ensure optimal performance and safety of your dishwasher, it’s essential to check and maintain several key electrical components:
-
Circuit Breaker : Ensure the circuit breaker is set correctly and dedicated to the dishwasher, with enough capacity (10 amps) to support its heating function. If there are issues with the circuit breaker or fuse, consider consulting a licensed electrician.
-
Power Cord Plug : Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet without any damage. Avoid using extension cords, as they can compromise the power supply.
-
Extension Cord: If an extension cord must be used, ensure it meets the required capacity (220-240V, 10 amps) and is compatible with the dishwasher’s power needs. Avoid sharing the extension cord with other high-power appliances like microwaves or washing machines, as this can cause circuit overloads.
-
Electric Shock Risk : To prevent the risk of electrocution, make sure the power source is properly earthed. Never use extension cords without earthing, and if you experience electric shocks even after grounding, contact a professional technician immediately.
