Why you should not take a bath or shower when the washing machine is running – Miscellaneous
Probably, many have heard at least one story about a person being electrocuted while taking a bath or shower.
We tell, referring to Telegraf, why you should not wash when the washing machine is running.
What is the risk in wet conditions
Since the washing machine is a powerful electrical device, of course there is a risk of electric shock. Therefore, you should not touch the device with wet hands or other wet parts of the body when it is working. If the insulation of internal components is damaged or the grounding system is not working properly, you could easily be electrocuted.
In addition, water is a conductor of electricity, and the wet environment of the bathroom increases the risk of electric shock many times. And if the machine is very old and you do not know if everything is okay with the device, you should not wash it, because the electric current can “seep”…
