I wondered about that (incompatible power supplies). It seems the most logical. I know high-powered devices like hair dryers, fridges, etc., tend to be really fickle about power supplies. You can get away with something like a laptop not getting the correct power, but a fridge is going to turn into mecha godzilla and eat Japan if receiving incorrect voltage. (do we say "receive voltage" in English? You don't really receive it...volts aren't sent anywhere...it's the electrical equivalent of pressure, and one wouldn't say I "received x kilopascals of air pressure")
