    RCD tripped

    I have woken up after one of the RCDs tripped in my house. I have managed to figure out that it is a plug socket in my kitchen that is tripping it. It is either the washing machine or dishwasher. I have unplugged both from the socket. One of the plugs seems like it’s leaking from inside. I have...
