I had an ex that pulled out all electrical plugs on literally everything, TV, washer, router, lamps etc etc. It was infuriating and a constant argument, because yes, sometime there can be an electrical fire while your gone, but the probability is extremely low. Same goes for the dishwasher and washer, while it can happen, it has never in my lifetime happened to me or anyone I know of, and if It did, that’s why we have insurance to cover those flukes instead of going to annoying lengths and extra costs our entire lifetime. Now from a repairman’s perspective it ends up feeling different, because even if the change is one in 10 million washes, he might still be going out to tons of such situation so from his perspective it happens “often enough” but in reality you should’t structure your life around it. You might however if you know your running very old equipment of if you know you wouldn’t be ensured if an accident happened or such of cause, but for us, being able to run our washer and dishwasher on solar for the next 40 years greatly outweighs the fact that we may once have to deal with a leakage, though in all likelihood we won’t.
