Yes, he used a 3A fuse. He replaced like for like. It has tripped again this morning. My son has a new mini fridge that he got for Christmas. I’m wondering if that is connected but it is in his bedroom on a different circuit.

Morning My electric tripped again this morning. It seems to be the same circuit (downstairs sockets) again. My partner changed the fuse in the boiler but this time it didn’t work. I’m trying to think what has changed recently. Never had this problem before and been in the house since 2007...

Sorry, realised I put ‘no switch’ for boiler in an earlier post but it does have a switch.

UPDATE Thank you for everyone’s input. You are all amazing. My partner has just changed the fuse in the boiler switch and it’s all working now. Thank you so much. We have heating, Wi-Fi and hot water now. YEAH!

We have a few FCUs. All look slightly different. Conservatory (no switch). Hob (no switch) Oven (has a switch) Boiler (no switch)

This is really helpful, thank you. I’m going to have a look for some numbers for an electrician. We have 2 outside lights above the front door. An outside socket and security light at the back that hasn’t worked in ages. I think I have tried everything I can and now need an expert. I’m based in...

Thank you I do have an outside socket but that is on the extension circuit which hasn’t tripped.

Yes, will call an electrician. Thank you for your help so far. I don’t really understand it and not sure how to check how many socket points are not working because all downstair socket switch has tripped.

Photo to show digital display says inactive.

Smart meter says inactive.

Thank you I have just had a look round again and found a few other things to switch off. Everything should now be off. Boiler switched off. Oven, hob and microwave switched off. Extension side (electric working) Fridge Washing machine Dishwasher Outside socket are all in the extension...

Thank you so much for replying you have really helped as I didn’t know I could do this. I have just switched them all off and the off switch has now stayed on. I turned each one back on individually. It is the socket downstairs switch that is tripping. So I have the other three working now...
