fuse

Hoping someone can help me here. Today I turned on the electric shower (Triton Madrid II) but it didn’t power on. The isolator switch light turns on initially but the light turns off when I turn the shower to any power mode. The LED power indicator on the shower does not turn on at any point...

I had a new fuse-box unit installed a year ago and I use this plug socket every night for hours in the winter. Admittedly the flex and plug can get hot. As you can see the plug socket has cracked. It is about 45 years old. Should the fuse-box have cut the fuse out before it got to this...

Hello all, I have a Hotpoint HAG60 Hob/Oven that is roughly from 2016, not sure exactly when but it has generally been looked after quite well. The only issue is that when turning it on at the plug, the electrics in the entire house cut out and I have to turn everything back on at the breaker...

Hi, Our AEG 5 burner gas hob blows its fuse (the one in its plug) and trips the RCD and MCD. The odd thing (to me, at least) is that this happens when it's not being used - e.g. it happened whilst we were on holiday. Replacing the fuse (3A) provides a temporary fix for a limited interval...

Hi, I have read through this fantastic collaborative thread and my washing machine has exactly the same symptoms, but the circuits seem completely different, so I am starting a new thread. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/miele-w828.130792/ My friend changed the dampers for me as the washing...

Title says it all, really. There is a small grey plastic unit under the fuse box, as per attached photos. It is very warm and there is some blackening behind it on the wood panel it's fitted upon.What might this unit be and what should I do about it? I've no idea how long it's been like this...

I use a standalone Electric Heater just to heat the room where I'm sitting as i'm working up in the attic/loft so its cold at this time of year! However this has suddenly stopped working for some reason? I have changed the 13A fuse as a precuation but still nothing? The heater did fall over...

Hi and thanks in advance to all the givers of advice here. I want to upgrade a Triton electric shower from 8.5kW to 9.5kW but would need to swap the existing 32a CU fuse for a 40a fuse. Is there a way for an idiot to safely tell what size the wiring is on that circuit as I gather I need 8mm for...

About a month ago, I was in one of the office wings of the building that I work at. Went out the fire exit to enter the internal fire-escape stairwell of the wing that I was in to grab some network cables that were in a box that I needed (box of cables was in stairwell). On coming back into...

Hello, I have a question regarding the safety of my shower. The other day, the power to the shower went off as I was just finishing using it. Then the trip switch for it at the box refused to stay in the on position. I informed my landlord and he said he would take a look, I hoped he would get...

Hi everyone Hope someone can help... I went in to the dining room earlier to discover that the ceiling light fitting had fallen down, looks like the wire has snapped or possibly burnt? Never had an issue with it before but it’s an old house. When it fell it tripped the fuse and I haven’t...

Does anyone know why my fcu has supply and load as normal and an extra live for load and supply?? Ive had to re install my original fcu because I just can't get it wired properly. I have added a picture.

Hi - we have recently moved to Italy and brought most of our UK appliances with us. After blowing a couple of UK-European adapters on the washing machine I realised they were most likely rated too low at 7.5A - on the second occasion one of the pins even managed to fuse itself to the connection...

Is it possible to get a 13A plug with a built in blown fuse indicator. After having a freezer defrost due to a blown fuse recently, it struck me that if there is no external indicator on the freezer (which mine hasn't) you could have a blown fuse and not know until it was too late.

Hi All, New to this forum but wanted to share ... My 10 year old Vokera (28 HE model) immediately blows its internal fuse when power is connected to it. If you have the same problem you may be scratching your head wondering where the problem is. In my case, it turns out to be a faulty fan and...
