According to a Long-Time Electrician, Unplugging the Washing Machine After Use Is a Small Trick with Big Benefits
Most of us finish a load of laundry, close the lid, and move on with our day — without giving the washing machine another thought. But according to the experience of a long-time electrician, one simple habit can make a surprising difference: unplugging your washing machine after using it.
It takes just a few seconds, yet it can improve safety, extend the life of your appliance, and even save money.
Here’s why this small trick matters.
1. Reduces the Risk of Electrical Hazards
Even when turned off, a washing machine remains connected to power. Internal components like control boards and capacitors can still be energized.
Unplugging the machine:
- Reduces the risk of electrical surges
- Protects against short circuits
- Lowers the chance of overheating
Electricians often see damage caused not during use — but while appliances are idle.
2. Protects Against Power Surges
Power surges don’t only happen during storms. They can occur when:
- Large appliances cycle on and off
- Power is restored after an outage
- Electrical systems fluctuate
These surges can slowly damage sensitive electronics inside modern washing machines. Unplugging removes that risk completely.
