Hello,
I have two electrical switches in my house that should be connected to the washing machine and the dryer machine, respectively. After having opened them I found 5 cables: black, white, red (connected to the central part) and yellow, yellow-green. I am nearly sure the yellow is the neutral, while the yellow-green is the ground. The black usually is the hot wire when I connect laps and similar, but I really don't know what are the other 2 cables.
After some research I understand this is a special setup that i am not familiar, but that seems pretty common for these type of switches. The switches are functional (the previous owner was using them), so I just need to know where to connect the wires from the washing and drying machines: these two machines have a classic 3 pole switch, so I expect when I cut the cable I will find 3 wires.
Could someone please help telling me whre to connect the washing machine cables? On the 3 sides of the central black part, there are the notes L1, L2, L3 and T1, T2, T3.
Many thanks for your help.
FYI: this is a Swiss house.
