A switch is just a break in your hot wire. Your incoming power is usually on the bottom of the switch. Hook that one up to the hot side(gold in color) of the receptical and either pull the other wire out or snip the end off that is exposed and put a wire nut on it. Now you have to have a neutral wire(white). If there's one in there that was not hooked to the top of the switch then hook it to the silver screw of the recep. If one is not in there you'll have to bring one to it and you'll be good to go.

In a three-way switch arrangement, one switch should have its black terminal (screw) connected to the line source, and the others black terminal to the load.

If the circuit neutral is present in the box housing the line connected switch (somewhat rare), then you can simply tap the line conductor from the switch and attach line, neutral and ground to the current tap.

If there is no neutral present, then rewiring would be required.

Why does an Asko Washer Dryer Combo trip the breaker?

The USA Asko combo series runs on 110V, which is unusual for a clothes dryer. A USA dryer usually runs on 220V and has its own dedicated circuit breaker, but the Asko can run on a standard household outlet which probably shares a breaker with other outlets in the house. A clothes dryer takes a lot of current. According to the specs on most Asko combos I looked at online, your unit probably uses close to the maximum current your breaker can handle. If you are using other electrical devices at the same time, you will blow the circuit. It may even be the use of overhead lighting if it shares the same breaker. One more thing on Asko: According to many of the online reviews, the 110V combos have a tendancy to have overheating problems in the wiring when using both washer and dryer simultaneously. I would suspect that this is due to not cleaning the lint screens, so be diligent. A dirty lint screen causes the dryer to work extra hard and draw more current.

Simple light switch that controls a light Want to replace it with a switch-receptacle combo so the switch still controls the light and the receptacle stays hot all the time?

Assuming you won't overload the circuit the lighting is on, here is what you do. You need to locate the supply side on the current switch. It should be a black wire. If you don't have a volt meter then you have to guess which of the two wires connected to the switch is supply side and which is load side. You have a 50-50 chance of picking correctly. Turn off power at your electric panel. You'll need a short length of wire that is the same gauge as the rating of the controlling circuit breaker or fuse. For 15 A you'll need 14 gauge and for 20 A you'll need 12 gauge. The new switch/outlet device should have a silver screw and two copper colored screws. There should be two white wires with a wire nut. Unscrew the nut and add a white wire about 4 in. in length. Connect this wire to silver screw. Connect the supply black wire to the copper screw labeled "line" or "supply". Connect the load black wire from original switch to the "load" side of the new switch.
