In a prior thread, it was stated that code requires the installation to have a clearly visible and accessible disconnect within 50 ft of the machnine. If this is the case, the installer and/or store would be at fault, and not the manufacturer.
But even if you pulled the plug, you would still have a machine full of water and no way to open it. So, I guess I don't really understand culpability of the store other than a code violation.
Ok, then the store:) I agree, that is the way it was when I was working in the lumber industry, we had to have a shut off where we could reach it in a hurry, and not just a shut off, an emergency disconnect. Thanks for reminding me.
