    Dishwasher needing switched off at wall to ‘reset’ before each cycle?

    I’ve got a dishwasher from IKEA (integrated into unit) and it’s under 2 years old.

    Spotlights tripping MCB when switched on

    Hello, my mate’s asked me to look at his spotlights in the kitchen because they were temperamental for a few months going off for hours at a time then coming back on and now they just trip the MCB as soon as switched on. They’re 12v spots. They were on a dimmer switch so I changed that first to...

    Hi We have two alcoves with a downward niche light in each. About 4 years old. Pic attached. Both operate from one switch.

    13A switched Sockets with USB, Do the USB sockets work when switches are off?

    Hi Are the USB sockets permanently powered irrespective of whether the switch is on? Anyone done any power measurements on one when nothing is plugged into the usb? Can they withstand insulation resistance tests? (if so up to what voltage?)

    Boiler Fused Connection Unit location

    I need to wire a new system boiler, the obvious place to put the supply is with the control unit which powers the boiler.
