Hello,
One of my downstairs sockets appears to have stopped working, its not a socket I use very often so it could have been like that for some time.
I'd like to try and work out what the problem is myself and would like some advice as to the best course of action. I have some basic test equipment available (a fluke T50 tester and a fluke volt stick)
I checked the fuse board and nothing had tripped so I carefully took the front off the socket and put the tester onto the screw terminals between live and earth and live and neutral, nothing on either.
There is only one cable coming into the socket, so I presume that this is a spur.
What is the best course of action from here?
