When the kitchen is not king size, but there are too many household appliances, the question arises - is it possible to put a microwave on a washing machine? Below you will find out how risky it is and whether it is worth doing it at all.
Pros and cons of a microwave on a washing machine
The installation of a microwave and other household appliances on the washer is relevant for frontal washing machines. Do not put anything on the vertical AGR - when you open the lid, everything will have to be shifted. For front-end cars, there are restrictions on the weight of things that can be placed on top - no more than 15 kg.
A microwave oven is relatively weighty, but this parameter can vary and depends on the model and dimensions. There are baby stoves weighing 5 kg, as well as productive "beauties" of 20 kg.
Important! You can’t put a large stove on a washing machine.
Why is it dangerous to put heavy equipment on the cover of the AGR? When washing and spinning, inertia occurs during vibration, the furnace moves to the edge, and due to strong shocks it risks falling.
Are microwaves dangerous?
Some experts are sure that radiation for the electronic board of the machine is not dangerous. When the oven is in operation, microwaves do not penetrate due to reflectors and a robust housing.
Other experts are sure that such an arrangement is undesirable because of the magnetron in the design of the microwave oven, the service life of which due to vibration can be significantly reduced.
Despite the opinions of experts, users boast that their stoves are on typewriters for 5-7 years.
We still recommend putting the stove away from the machine. There is a win-win economic option - to install the machine under the countertop, and put anything on it.
What you need to know before putting the microwave on the machine
If you thought and decided that putting a microwave on your washing machine is rational and profitable, follow the rules:
- Check if the top cover and oven match. Depth is especially important. On a narrow washer with a width of 35-36 cm, you can not put a stove with the same parameters. A stove with a depth of 28 cm will successfully stand on the machine.
- Reduce vibrations of the SMA housing using a rubber mat. An alternative to a rug is anti-vibration stands or legs.
- Remember the quality outlet and its remoteness. The cord on the microwave is short, so it should be close to the outlet. The washing machine should be connected to a separate outlet with grounding. Do not use an extension cord to connect the CMA.
- Look in the technical documentation of the stove to find out the weight. Remember maximum 15 kg.
What else can I put on the washer
There is another household appliance that you want to put on a typewriter. Does the electric kettle interfere? Feel free to put, but lay a rug under it. Want to save space and install the dishwasher on the machine? This cannot be done because:
- Technique decently weighs.
- Too large.
- Water may leak onto the control board, resulting in expensive repairs.
There are no complaints about kitchen accessories - put as many as you like.
Important! Glass, ceramic, porcelain products do not have a place on the washer. With vibrations, they risk falling and breaking.
To summarize: not everything can be put on a washing machine. But the microwave oven with its modest dimensions will be able to accommodate, most importantly - follow the rules. And remember that a car looks more profitable in the interior when it costs nothing at all.
