Induction Cooker and Washing Machine Wiring Repaired in Klang

We recently attended to a customer in Klang who faced several electrical problems while using his induction cooker. The switch got stuck, it could not be turned off, and the plug was extremely hot and hard to remove. During cooking, one of the MCBs tripped, and the customer had to switch it back on to continue using the cooker.

When we inspected the wiring, we found the overall condition to be unsafe. The wires inside the power plug were melted, which clearly showed signs of overheating and poor connection. Inside the power plug, the life and neutral wires shorted together, and the insulation skin on both wires was already broken. When the induction cooker ran at its peak power, the wires became extremely hot, which caused the MCB to trip for protection.

We also discovered that many circuits were tapped, mixed, and shared with multiple plug points, all previously done by a renovation contractor without proper planning. This kind of wiring not only causes frequent tripping and overheating, but also increases the risk of electrical fire and damage to home appliances.

Unsafe Wiring Found in Induction Cooker’s Power Point

I remember about five years ago, we helped this customer redo the water heater wiring and installed a Chint 25A RCCB (10mA sensitivity) for extra protection. Since water heaters are used in wet areas, it’s always safer to have a dedicated RCCB. Even a small current leakage can be dangerous in the bathroom, with a 10mA RCCB, it will trip immediately and protect you from electric shock.

This NL1 RCCB helps protect against earth leakage and can save lives by cutting off the power when there’s a fault. It also helps prevent fire hazards caused by insulation problems. But remember, an RCCB doesn’t protect against overload or short circuit, so it should always work together with an MCB for complete safety.

When we checked his wiring back then, it was a total mess. The whole system was done by a renovation contractor, and we found a lot of tapped wires and multiple plug points sharing the same circuit. We advised him to fix everything, but at that time, he just wanted to keep the repair cost low, so we only repaired the water heater wiring and installed the RCCB.

We always tell homeowners, saving a bit on wiring might look okay now, but it can turn into big trouble later with tripping, overheating or even fire risks. Home owners should hire local Malaysian wiremen usually do a solid job because they use good quality cables and reliable MCB brands like Himel, EPS, Hager, and ABB. When the right materials are used and the work is done properly, the wiring can last much longer and you won’t have to worry about tripping or overheating problems later on.

Induction Cooker and Washing Machine on the Same Circuit

The washing machine was also affected because its wires were looped from the induction cooker’s power point, both running under the same circuit. This kind of wiring is unsafe, especially for high-power appliances. When the induction cooker and washing machine operate together, the circuit carries too much load, causing the MCB to trip and the wires to become very hot. Over time, this can damage the insulation and even start a fire.

We often see this type of work in houses where the wiring was done by foreign wiremen or renovation contractors. They usually do it to save a bit of cost on cables and MCBs. But what they save in materials often leads to expensive repairs later. It is always better to wire each high-power appliance on its own circuit for safety and reliability. This is what people always say “ you want cheap price, they give you cheap cheap solution lor”.
