What is a pull switch

A pull switch is a switch that you can flip by pulling a cord. You can use them to turn lights on and off, or to plug in your washing machine. You are required to connect your washing machine to a pull switch if:

  1. The washing machine connection is in the bathroom;
  2. Or the group is not behind a 30ma earth leakage switch.

Does this not apply to your home? Then you can just plug in your new washing machine.

Usually there is already a pull switch in the bathroom. Do you still need to install a pull switch? Then it’s best to have it installed by an electrician. Electricity in the bathroom can be quite a dangerous thing. To avoid voiding your warranty, have a certified electrician install your pull switch. Of course, you can then place and connect your washer and dryer yourself.
