I have fitted the socket into the dry wall and led the cable. Will wire it up tonight. Hopefully I will have cold drinks and dry cloths tomorrow lol

Thank you.

Thanks John for your reassurance, I will go ahead and do it within the next week. Kind regards Steven.

Hi, thanks for your response. I am not sure what you mean by this. Can you direct me tothat post? Kind regards Steven

Thanks John. I didn't explain what I meant very well. When I said tumble dryer starting I should have said when it is turned on initially for the first 15 minutes or so. i.e when the drum is getting up to full temperature. Presumably it would be drawing nearly 2600 amps for that time. It would...

Thanks for that info. That would be very annoying. I might end up having to tap into the ring main somewhere or just bite the bullet and get a professional in.

One final question. Could the start up current of the fridge compressor blow the fuse if it happened to kick in as the tumble dryer is starting? Thanks Steven

Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards Steven

Hi, thank you both for that information and advice. There is a dedicated ring for upstairs sockets, downstairs sockets and kitchen sockets. All are rcd protected. Can I assume that it would be 2.5mm2 that connects the fridge point as they put a 13amp fuse in. Sorry for my ignorance!

Hi I would like to install a new socket to power a Tumble Dryer. It is just on the other side of a plaster board wall from the fridge. I have concrete floors and the only accessible point to take a spur from is the one that powers the fridge. It itself is a fused spur that is protected by a 13...

Thanks guys. Yeah I will go for Honeywell the next time, I did try to get Honeywell this time but they only had myson in stock. No doubt I will be replacing again within the year!

Hi, My central heating system is just over 6 years old. I have just replaced the myson 2 port zone valve actuator for the third time. I had to replace the first one just over 2 years ago. i.e. 3 replacements in two years. Is this unusually excessive failure? I did check that I could rotate...

Thanks mate.
