Hi,

I was wondering if someone may be able to assist please. Recently all the kitchen wall sockets have stopped working so no power in the sockets except the oven but the oven has its own dedicated circuit breaker in fuse box. The kitchen sockets also has its own circuit breaker but it hasn't tripped. Would someone know why something like this may happen? All the circuit breakers in the fusebox are type A RCBOs and to date we haven't had any issues with any sockets in the house. The house itself is only 20 years old. I haven't used any new appliance in the kitchen recently either.

Thanks.

Colin
 
Try turning off the circuit breaker to the kitchen sockets.
UNPLUG (not just turn off) all things plugged into kitchen sockets including if at all possible the fridge and freezer
Turn breaker back on and then try plugging in a known working appliance, like a table lamp from another room.
