The cord of my washing machine is too short to reach the nearest socket. So I use the extension cord. The extension cord has nearly burned, got hot and brown. I think the socket of the washing machine was not completely inserted. I got another extension cord, but it is getting uncomfortably warm/hot. I don't dare to run the washer at 60 C. I know, in the instructions it says one shouldn't use the extension cord but there simply isn't any other place I can put the washing machine.
Is something wrong with the washing machine? Wiring? Just the one socket I use for the washer?
I have modern fuses. Why didn't it blow?! I was convinced it should when something nearly burns!
Please help.
