Hiya guys,
I woke up this morning to no power in the flat at all. The circuit breaker was in the off position, i tracked it down to the fridge freezer, 100% definitely that. As soon as the fridge is switched on, it trips again.
I tried it in another plug socket hoping it was the socket, still instantly trips when I put the power back on.
I've yet to try changing the fuse as I had to rush to work, is it plausible to think it could be that?
I've seen on another thread about extension cabling it to another circuit ring to see if its the fridge or the ring, but other things worked on the same socket so think it's more likely the fridge.
It's 3 months out of its year guarantee so not an old fridge by any means, but it is cheap and cheerful store brand.
Any suggestions? Could changing the fuse possibly work? Or is it likely i'm going to need a new fridge?
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
