My friend has an takeaway. He's food warmer stopped working.
He called me out at 9:30PM at night. I was on sight within 15mins as the takeaway was only 500m from my house.
Took 15 mins to find the fault, turned out to be the themostat relay board. Normally open contact not switching.

Customer just called me and said his dimmer switch is incredibly hot for his 9 downlights. Also after a while the lights trip..have not yet been to see this was just x what could be out there.
