    Melted socket, plug and wiring

    Thanks George. I didn’t ask for FCU, just what the sparky did (and I didn’t know any better). Maybe the electrician will change them if that would be better. Is having 2 fuses on the circuit a problem though?

    Melted socket, plug and wiring

    Thanks Gavin, I’ll give you a shout if needed. I’m Clutton. Don’t really have a choice but to remove the plug if you look at the picture in 1st post :-(

    Melted socket, plug and wiring

    On a different note, is there any benefit in asking for the replacements to be flex outlets as they are fixed appliances which don't really get moved rather than plug and sockets?

    Melted socket, plug and wiring

    Thanks. Pictures of rear of each socket below. Fortunately (maybe, if that is the problem) these are probably the only 2 of this make and done by this installer as after he'd done the rewire I then (about a year later) got all the fixtures replaced with brushed chrome ones (different installer...

    Melted socket, plug and wiring

    Thanks. Do you mean loose connection(s) at the sockets the appliances were using (and just bad luck the both of them at similar time) or could the loose connection be somewhere else on the ring that somehow manifests itself at those sockets? As you can tell I know little about electrics but...

    Melted socket, plug and wiring

    Hi. No, washing machine is brand new Samsung and tumble dryer is 3 year old Hotpoint. Both sockets are on same 32A ring but each socket is fed from a separate 13A FCU on that ring with it's own cable between the FCU and socket (hope that makes sense). Thanks,

    Melted socket, plug and wiring

    Hello. Long time reader but not many posts. After more of a bit of insight than anything else as I have asked for a local electrician to come and have a look next week (unless anyone reading is near BS39 in Bristol/Bath and wants to have a look). I have a washing machine (couple of weeks old...

    No one working over the Christmas holidays this year then??

    Don't you mean you're? Spelling was correct, it's the grammar that was wrong. Same with yours.
