Hotpoint Aquarius Washing machine - Fuse in plug keeps blowing
 
My tenant says that he has replaced the fuse in the washing machine
about 6 times in 2 months. They say the use of the washing machine is
about 2x weekly.

Any ideas as to what is causing the fuse to blow this regularly, and
anything i can do to stop the problem.

Many thanks in advance.

Are they putting in a correctly rated fuse?

Not too sure mate. i will check when I go round next time. Any ideas
on what the fuse should be for a washing machine. I assume 13A?

For a start, you should stop considering the fuse blowing to be a
problem - it's not - it's a sign showing there is a problem with the
appliance or wiring which is potentially dangerous. At worst this could
cause your tenant serious injury or death, and if, as it sounds, you are
sitting on a problem which your tenant has notified you about - that
would result in extremely serious damage to your bank balance or, dare I
say it, your liberty.

Get it sorted out now!
