how difficult is it to connect new washmachine to wall fused socket ?

allsam18

My old washmachine is connected straight to the wall fused socket.
My new washmachine has a standard 3 pin power connector.

Is it too difficult to connect new washmachine to wall fused socket bymyself ?

Or do I need electrician ?

I don´t want to use extension cord.

I would change the fused outlet to a single socket and plug in new machine.

thank you, can you give me any link, or step by step description ?

Mr Magnolia

If I'm reading your post correctly you need to make up a flying lead from the fused socket to the new washing machine. The machine needs to remain on a switched spurred outlet afaik according to regs.

To be fair, if you're looking for a link or a step by step guide you should be going nowhere near it as you obviously don't know what's required or the risks involved.

What regs would these be?

ok i will get the electrician if it is so difficult. thanks

Its not difficult op, the 3 connections on the fused outlet are the same on the socket, live, neutral and earth.
