I really can't understand this fashion for having isolator switches for
appliances which are fed via a socket but normally left switched on.

I think it's for keeping the washing machine's contents (and DW and
TB) safe from potential damage caused by small fingers daytime. The
top switches don't attract their attention unlike the cute 90C
boil-my-coloureds button. They play daytime near the machines but
can't start any cycle before the Hand of Daddy intervenes. Then when
they're tidied to bed, switch on and run the units.

My theory anyway.
