Hey all,
The chrome heated towel rail that I have in my downstairs bathroom stopped working a few months back and so I purchased a replacement from eBay.
The connections look exactly the same - just three blue, brown, and yellow/green cables that go into the socket on the wall. (On the wall outside of the bathroom is another one which has a 13amp fuse). So after isolating the supply I fitted the new towel rail onto the wall and connected the three cables in the same way as the previous towel rail was fitted.
When I put the power back on and turn the towel rail on, the fuse in the wall socket on the wall outside the bathroom blew as the switch in the main junction box flicked up.
I put a new 13amp fuse in and tried again but the same thing happened.
Any idea where the problem would be?
Thanks.
R.
