Freezer-Extension Lead Exclusion-Guarantee.

Zoomup
A customer of mine has said that the guarantee for his tall freezer is invalidated if the appliance is supplied through an extension lead.


Why is that?


How can an extension lead cause freezer damage? The appliance was running well supplied by an extension lead when I saw it.

    A few years back, in another life, I overheard a conversation with the technical support people of a certain major UK lottery provider whose name is not dis-similar to King Arthurs' castle.


    The problem was that the lottery terminal in the village shop would not connect to lottery HQ and hence couldn't be used to sell tickets.


    The help line people were blaming the fact that the terminal was connected via an extension lead & not directly into a wall socket.... apparently the extension lead "prevented the terminal charging up properly and so it cant talk"
