Morning all.
I have a bit of a problem. I get interference when using my computer and
washing machine at the same time.
When the washing machine is working the motor on the bowl turns on and off
and changes direction, using one of those stator type motors i think their
called. In doing so I can hear a crackle or spike in my speakers, and if
using broadband (USB), it disconnects the broadband. I have a joystck type
USB interface and disconnects the interface ever time the motor turns on.
Any way of solving this problem? If so, is it done at the washing machine
or computer end?
Many thanks in advance,
Rob,

Re: Washing machine and USB devices
Hi all.
Thanks for the replies.
Mentioned the above suggestions to the wife. She thought they were funny,
but followed with her concerns for the timing, being that of; my computer
usage, telling her when to do or not do the laundrey, and the arrival of the
ambulance.
In the end the problems were solved with a $29.00 Belking mains filter/surge
protector.
The occasional click can still be faintly heard on the speakers, but there
are no longer any interference problems with my usb devices.
Thank god for that. I wasn't sure if my ambulance subscription was up to
date. Costs about $800-00 a trip.
Rob.
