Washing machine fuse blown

[Karen Robinson]

My eco bubble machine didn’t switch on  today and checking the plug, machine has blown fuse.

we replaced fuse but it made crackling noises as plug damaged.

Worried now the machine is not safe( we have put on a new plug). and should I now buy a new machine . Found these posts  after googling issue it appears  Samsung to be a common problem ?????

 

can anyone help ?

the fuse could have blown if there was a power surge. I would still turn on the washer if the fuse was changed... but would supervise the wash just in case it is the washer.

fuses are there to protect which means its done its job.

i think there using inferior parts and thinner copper wire, had ours 3 years and it now blows fuses, but not as bad as yours, i have changed my fuse again and plugged into a different socket and now is working again, but for a washer or any appliance damaging a socket or plug like like that is bad
