[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 410568, member: 601"] A tumble dryer will pull near enough the full capacity of the extension lead... It's recommended that you always plug in large loads such as a tumble dryer, washing machine, kettle, toaster etc directly into a wall socket... and a double socket should only really supply one high load as they're usually only rated to a maximum of 20A between the two sockets Answering your questions in order No Cut the plug off, feed the flex through a small hole and wire a plug onto it A fridge freezer is a relatively small load,, you could plug it in via an extension lead without any problem It's extremely unlikely that there is any problem with your new dryer TBH it'd be far better if you had another socket fitted for the dryer [/QUOTE]
