Washing machine or fridge? Turn pale and panic! (9)
I believe the answer is:
appliance
'washing machine or fridge?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'turn pale and panic' is the wordplay.
'turn' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pale' put after 'panic' is 'panicpale'.
'panicpale' anagrammed gives 'APPLIANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appliance that I've seen before include "implement" , "Washing machine or toaster, say" , "Piece of kit" , "Machine (for use in the home)" , "Device performing specific task" .)
