Dimplex opti myst blowing ring main

[DaveAddo]

I've got a Dimplex Oakhurst Opti Myst fire that was working fine until last night when it switched itself off and blew the downstairs ring main. I've tried changing the fuse and removing the bulbs, but it is still blowing the main when switched back on. Has anyone got any idea what I need to check next? Thanks

does it contain a water vessel to generate steam? could water have got onto the heating element or connections?

what letters and numbers are printed on the device that trips? Is it B32 or something else?

do you have a dog?

There is a very long thread on the Opti Mist on these forums. Maybe worth a look.

Hi, it is the type that generates steam. Did cross my mind if water had got into somewhere it shouldn't. We do have 2 dogs but they never go near it.

I've had a look at some of the other threads but not come across anything to help.

Cheers guys
