Hi there
Was having a shower this morning wife was down stairs she put the kettle a minute later she smelt fishy smell which she new was electric burning smell ...she discovered the fridge lead that was plugged into the same double socket as kettle was melting ....I don't believe it an issue with the socket . We have suffered a similar issue in the past it only happens when we have lots of high load devices running at the same time usually the shower will be on...also the lights dip in the house when the shower is on ...the wiring in the house looks to be okay I feel this May be a consumer unit issue can any one advice?
