An outlet with too many volts in it or a short.
Can i use dishwasher and washing machine on multiple plug?
If you only have one wall socket where the washing machine and dishwasher are, then you could plug in a multi-plug adaptor, into which both appliances could then be plugged in. There are also multi sockets in a strip with a single plug on a short cable available. For instance, in my outhouse, I have a dryer and a washing machine that are plugged into a three way adaptor. The adaptor is then plugged into a RCD, or residual current device. Finally, the RCD is plugged into the single wall socket.

Generally speaking the longest part of replacing a fuse is going to the store to buy a new one.In household appliances the only fuse a user should be replacing is the one in the plug top, and this should take at most 5 minutes.Remove the plug from the wall, unscrew the center screw from the plug top and open the plug.The fuse will be clearly visible. Use a screwdriver or something small to pop out the broken fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same rating. Replace the plug cover reinsert screw and your done.It should be noted that a blown/ broken fuse is usually (but not always) indicative of a problem in your device (sometimes fuses blow for no apparent reason). If this new fuse blows within a relatively short period of time it should be taken as confirmation of a problem with the normal working of the device and an electrician should be contacted.
