Earth in dishwasher plug burned through
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 9:12 pm
Hi all,
Dishwasher stopped working - checked the plug and fuse is fine, hasn't blown, but the earth wire looks like it burned off at the terminal. Doesn't look like it was well-connected in the first place though, not much left inside the terminal housing.
Just wondering - would it be safe to rewire the plug straight off or might it be risky if the earth already burned through without the fuse going?
Cheers in advance,
Rob
