Not sure if I am posting in the right place but I am in need of some help.
This morning I noticed that the all sockets in the kitchen and the lights in 3 rooms of the house were not working. I had previously used the kettle with no problems & the microwave has a clock & this had been on for ages. It was only when I went to make another cuppa that I noticed the kettle wasn't working. I replaced the fuse but still nothing. Then I noticed that the fridge wasn't working. I realised that all the sockets in the kitchen are dead except for the main socket for the cooker (which is on a different trip).
My query I guess is why all the sockets in the kitchen are gone & the lights in the kitchen, dining room & lounge are gone... but no switches on the board actually tripped?
Initially I thought the storm we had last night had done it but then I realised that we have used some of these items since last night without issue. All the appliances have worked when I plugged them into the sole working socket with the cooker switch.
I must add that I am neither an electrician nor a DIY bodger! I just don't know what has happened & our housing assoc won't come out till Monday! I contacted the housing assoc who asked if I could unplug ALL appliances in the house to see if anything tripped & nothing happened. I also manually tripped the switches for the sockets & the lights & put them back on & nothing.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
