New and got an electrical problem

[Specialist]

Hi Toria: As it's a Council property then you need to contact them about your socket & they should send someone to sort it.
Your kettle could simply have had a bit of water spilt on the base & that was causing a problem, as it's dried out then the fault would be gone.

Congratulations on the pregnancy by the way

Thankyou Specialist and I will contact my council and let you all know what happens.

Your welcome

as you are in rented property, it's the council's responsibility. the only thing you can do is to plug in a known working appliance, say a table lamp, and see if it works. if not, phone the council to replace the socket.

You now have a working kettle.... have you plugged the kettle into this socket? does it work?

Youve said you used your mothers battery charger in the other socket, perhaps use a known working appliance?
