Hi
I'm about to purchase an American style tumble dryer - 4750 Watts.
I know this needs hard wired.
My question is, can this be hardwired into the ring final in the utility room? If replace the 20amp dryer switch with a cooker style switch.
The kitchen and utility room have their own circuit, plus oven on separate circuit.
So the only other appliance on the same circuit would be the fridge freezer, kettle and microwave. The washer is a top loader which does not have its own heater, so low power draw there.
I realise it should ideally have it's own circuit but it looks like a difficult install with concrete floors.
I dont see how any of the circuit would he overloaded on the 32 amp breaker so I assume this would be a safe set up?
