    I have a 4 socket extension block plugged in, in my bedroom. Just plugged genuine iPhone charger into it and instantly loud bang and the socket + charger burnt out.

    Wiring the terminal block on a Login oven

    I'm trying to wire up a new Logik oven and it has a non-standard terminal block, much smaller than that on the oven I just replaced and all the YouTube videos I could find. It looks like you just screw the electrical wires in directly. So, I guess I should remove the connectors and screw the...
