No power going to the washing machine

washing machine wont turn on

If there are no lights displaying on the washing machine, firstly check that the plug is properly inserted into the socket and the switch is set to on.

If this has been established, check that the socket is providing power by plugging in another electrical product into the socket, for example a lamp. If the socket doesn't work, insert the washing machine plug into the socket next to it, if you have a double socket, and try again.

If the sockets work, check the fuse in the plug by putting the fuse into another appliance's plug or by putting a new fuse which you know works into the washing machine's plug. Make sure you use a 13 amp fuse.??

Also check whether the circuit breaker has tripped. If necessary, contact an electrician.
