yes it will, but you are safer to use a Whole House Surge Protector that connects to your main electric panel in your house, you can buy them a t any box store electric dept it protects clock radios and microwaves

Yes, technically. However, there are a couple other, and better, options. The best option is to put the surge protection device at the breaker panel. This requires a hard wire connection to a double pole breaker, which would also require the availability of two free breaker slots, thus protecting both legs of the 240V service. The second option would be to use a smaller Tripp lite outlet strip that only has one or two receptacles, since code states that large appliance loads should be on individual circuits. This would keep honest people honest by not allowing multiple loads to be connected to the large appliance circuit. Yes, technically. However, there are a couple other, and better, options.

It will do a good job at protecting a fridge. The washer might draw a bit too much power depending on the size of the internal heater if there is one, if the washer is within the Isobar's ratings then it will be fine too.

I put defense in the fabric softener/bleach compartment of my washer and it seems to work fine. I do use a large more industrial type washer which is used by all the tenants in my building.

I've installed this at my main service panel and I believe all appliances are protected. I no longer do electrical work as a career, therefore I would contact the manufacturer for exact specifications. You know CYA.

This product is designed to protect against transient increases in voltage.

Yes, this will work for TVs, Laptops and Desktop computers. I have several of them for all the technology in out home. I've not tried these with appliances (refrigerators, etc.)

. I use it to protect a 20 Amp 120 volt circuit that has equipment prone to lightning surges. I do not know if approved for house service protection. Ask a pro-electrician .

I use mine to store a juicer and a large cast-iron frying pan. I guess it depends on the area your appliances will cover;the weight of them,too.

NO NO NO!!! I would not in any way shape or form use this for anything such as a washer or dryer. This has 6 outlets on the front, but instead of 2 on the back, one is plastic -- thus you are channeling all that power through one plug. I use it for microwave, toaster oven and/or toaster, but not at once. I wouldn't run appliances with large power loads through it.

Yes!! Amazon will offer a protection plan via SQUARE TRADE at the time of purchase. I highly recommend this excellent kitchen appliance;Panasonic Genius 1250 Watt Sensor Microwave w/Inverter Technology (1.6 cu ft.) It has not given me any trouble however a protection plan will give you peace of mind.

I don't see why not, as long as you have a good surge protector in front of the electronics.

Sorry, I can't answer that question. My A/C service tech suggested I protect each A/C unit with one of these....

As with all electronics, it could be harmed in an EMP attack. Any electronics can be protected by building a Faraday cage.Simply bubble wraps what you want to protect and put it in a metal tin like a popcorn tin.

I have a power surge protector -- just in case there is a lightning storm and if it knocks out the motor I will not be a happy camper. An extension of this arrangement means, a UPS may work. I see why not. Principle is the same. Actually, a UPS is a smart move.

You can use this stuff with electronics but be careful with bonding items with critical placement. I tried to use this to mount magnets in a hole. When I came back all the magnets were lifted out of the hole. This bubbles up lifting on your component. USB ports, same thing, lifted it up and was cocked to one side. This epoxy expands. You must clamp all your work.

I don't think so. It's too thick to go in some appliances. Measure your current space against the specs for on the hard drive thickness.

Yes, it would protect your equipment. I use several of them around the house.

Yes, you can use it to protect any electrical unit(s) that do not go over the input rating.
