Warranty

[Desmac]

I bought a new fridge, and intended removing the moulded plug and hard wiring it to a flex outlet, with a remote DP switch with fuse. The delivery man advised against this as it might invalidate the warranty. Has anyone had a problem with warranty caused by this? I've a few appliances which are so wired asit makes fuse replacement etc easy.

Contact the manufacturer to ask them direct.

I'm sure that you can still use a remote switch if you put a single socket there to take the plug though?

Although why would you? why be able to turn the fridge/freezer off?
Do you often go away for a long time?

Are you saying that you already have the fused outlet in-situ, if so then as mattylad says, just change it for s single socket. Replacing a fuse in a plug is just as easy.

It also makes it a lot easier to remove the fridge freezer should you need to.

I've already got the DP switch with fuse in place. If I leave the plug on the appliance, there will be two fuses. The whole point of having the fuse at the switch was to make access to the fuse easy. I have other appliances, (dishwasher, fridge) which are built in, and I don't want to have to remove them till they're junked. Any way, the logic of thge situation aside, has anyone heard of a warrant problem caused by the removal of the plug on an appliance?
