Neutral Fault

[Lee_Dicks]

Hi guys and girls
I have had a phone call from a friend saying that the socket under the kitchen counter for there washing machine is not working.
I tried a socket tester in it and there is a neutral fault. IRd the circuit and tested all the other sockets. All's fine.
The socket is controlled by an FCU located above the counter the fault is between here and the socket beneath the worktop. The FCU controls the socket and an outside socket. I have tried them individually and there is a fault on BOTH sockets.

I am still in training and there electrician is on holiday any help will be greatly appreciated.

Why do you guys spend 3 pages trying to talk someone through fault-finding who is clearly not safe to work on electrical systems?
To the OP....IF "their electrician is on holiday" (noticed that I corrected the spelling for you), then there are plenty of others out there who know what they are doing!

Agree with all above comments, maybe we need to stop giving out this advice, I know as decent members we all try to help people in trouble, but it is usually clear within a few replies that the op is not equipped to find the faults they have encountered.
But you can't win because if we decline the help then immediately we become arrogant obnoxious sparks who think we are better than everyone else, which of course we are.
