can i run the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time

by Juvenal Lesch Published 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago

Yes, both the dishwasher and washing machine can operate simultaneously. This will reduce the amount of electricity or gas used by your water heater. Check to see if your washing machine and dishwasher heat the water on their own or if they need to have hot water running for them to function properly before continuing.
