Our dishwasher is on its own fused spur. The current socket is faulty and needs to be replaced. The socket itself is unswitched; there is a separate switch on the wall.
The problem is that none of my local DIY shops have an unswitched socket in stock. If I've understood correctly what I've read on the interweb it should be acceptable to put a switched socket there, but can anyone confirm this?
Otherwise it's a case of ordering and waiting for one to arrive next week, whereas I could be getting on with it this afternoon.
