I have a digital plug in timer which says on the back, "Not suitable for dishwashers and washing machines". The only reason I can think of is the inductance of the motor. But it's rated at 3.2kW, and it uses a relay (I can hear it). So why?

While taking down the vitals for a soon-to-be mom, I asked how much she weighed.
"I really don't know," she said.
"Well, more or less," I prompted.
"More, I guess," she answered sadly.

Could be the electronics in the timer are not protected against transients generated by the motor.

But the motor is on a seperate circuit, separated by the relay contacts. If a transistor did the switching, I would agree.
