However, even though people have used the washing machine for many years, few people know that plugging in the washing machine 24/24 hours consumes a lot of energy for your family, even though it is very convenient every time you use it. According to the experience of a long-time electrician, unplugging the washing machine after using it is a small trick that brings great benefits.
You should unplug the washing machine after use
The washing machine is an indispensable household appliance in every family, making laundry much simpler and easier. In the process of using the washing machine, there is a controversial issue for many people, which is whether or not it is necessary to unplug the device 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. Next time, when using, it is necessary to plug in the power again. 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. In particular, when you are away from home for a long time, you need to unplug electrical appliances such as washing machines to ensure safety.
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. Doing so ensures the safety of the user, prevents circuit leakage, and prolongs the life of the device.
