Help - plug cut off washing machine
Discussion

The plug may have been cut off because the machine is unsafe - electricity and water don't generally play well together. If you're not sure of what you're doing it may be worth asking help from a friend with more knowledge.
That's exactly what I was thinking - It obviously can't have been tested in that state!If you do try it I would make sure that it's on an RCD and you also know where your fuses are and have a torch ready...

And a fire extinguisher and wearing very thick rubber soled boots and 999 punched into your phone If you do try it I would make sure that it's on an RCD and you also know where your fuses are and have a torch ready...
That looks dodgy to me, whenever I buy scrap Dysons/Hoovers that have had the cable cut off it means they've come from the tip somewhere...
It's easier with a vacuum as I can sniff the post motor filter to see if it's been on fire, or plug it in in the garden and stand back as I flick the switch in the house. You can't do that (easily) with a washing machine...
That looks cut too, not 'caught in the van door and torn off', although that never really happens either.
How brave do you feel OP?
