Hi I'm toria, I'm 33 and I rent a council property I have no electrical training but know how to change a plug etc basic house things.
I'm looking for some info if possible My electric tripped at 2.10am and my other half came and woke me up as I've lived in my residence a while I sort of know how to check the fuse box etc (he doesn't)
I've figured it out to be a kettle that is tripping my fuse box in a double socket within the kitchen, but the kettle is just tripping the RCB and not the other switches I've also moved the kettle from one double socket to another double socket and it still trips the RCB so my question is :
Is it the kettle thats broke? Or is it the sockets in my kitchen that are tripping the RCB, as my kettle is tripping the RCB I don't know if the fuse is working should I just buy a brand new kettle and hope for the best? Or do I change the fuse first?
Thankyou so much for reading and any help you can give me is much appreciated.
