It was on the pins of the plug itself as its a moulded plug. Reading was 1 M Ohm (mega ohm is it?) Yeah that was also another thought about whether I just have too many things under one RCD now

Jinx!

Yeah I guess that's my only option for now unless anyone has any other ideas to check. The plugs wont reach any other sockets due to their location so will have to be a messy extension lead into another socket for now I guess!

Not sure of the exact one, but after a quick google it looks a bit like this and ran it at 250v across the earth and neutral pins. Also used a multimeter on the heating element of the washer with the ohm setting

It's a moulded plug

I don't believe so. I have only had it happen twice to me, one for sure was the washing machine (I was actually plugging the plug into the socket that was already switched on at the time), the other i'm unsure. But yesterday the wife switched the washing machine on and it tripped. First thought...

Thanks so no bridging required?

Ok so its arrived and slightly different to the one shown on Amazon. See pics attached. Doesnt appear to be any bridging connectors....unless they are hiding away somewhere. Also to note on the 220-240v diagram on the label its not clear on my picture but it doe show the black and brown wires...

Ah yes of course, sorry

Ok thanks. Hob is due to arrive today so haven't got it in hand at the moment, that picture I found on Amazon but for the same hob. So it looks like there is a black wire connected to L2, does that stay connected aswell? Will this mean there is a redundant 4th cable at the other end or does...

Hi, I've got a new hob to install in the kitchen (Cookology CIH602). Ive got a dual cooker connection plate with the oven already connected and intend to connect this. Looking at the manual, it can be installed as 3 phase (which i believe is how its setup from factory) or single phase. Is it...
