Our house has a porch extension with a double socket in it. It had been working ok powering the freezer, but when the second socket was used it was very difficult to remove the plug. After it had been removed the socket didn't work - this was not noticed until the contents of the freezer had defrosted! I have had a look at the socket and all the wires were firmly fixed. I thought the switches might have been at fault so I wired up a socket that I knew worked, but it didn't work in the new location.
I assume that there is a fault with the supply cable. How can I test the cable and how can I work out where the cable is connected within the electrical circuits? The socket has a single cable to it so I assume it is a spur.
