I have been told in the past by a local retailer that they have never had an issue with warranty claims when plugs have been cut off and correctly re - installed with either a new plug or into an outlet.

Mind you, lets face it, unless it states in the installation or user manual that they should not be removed, they would have a hell of a job trying to prove that removing a plug caused the appliance to fail!

perhaps they should come with 4mm plugs so you can thread em through holes then plug in via a break-out box!!!!

Removing a plug from an electrical appliance- voiding the guarantee

can they just do this -or would a solicitor be able to fight it

I'd like to know how a "Comet approved engineer" snips a plug off differently to the way an electrician does it, other than the additional call-out fee.

I would love to see it in court!
