Which is exactly what the repair guy diagnosed so hats off to you! It was registering an earth fault. Cheers guys

The RCD tripped after about 3 hours this time so who knows what's going on. I have a repair person booked in for Thursday and will update on the out come. At the moment I have it on a plug timer so it switches off for 15 mins every 2 hours. This seems to keep it working and not trip the RCD...

All the bits and bobs are hidden, don't really want to take the back off while still under warranty. I've just plugged it into another circuit with nothing else connected, fairly sure it will trip the RCD in 5 hours at 9pm. After it does I'll give currys and claim on warranty. Didn't even know...

I've racked my brains to try work out what else could have a 5 hours cycle! I unplugged all other appliances on the circuit. It has to be the fridge/freezer right? If I tried it on another circuit controlled by another RCD with same result? As wayners said don't want to claim on warranty if...

Our consumer unit has 2 RCDs so I plugged it in to a circuit on the other RCD side. Again after 5 hours the RCD tripped. Didn't think of checking the fuse will give that a try thanks

That makes sense, thanks for the info

Hi, Our Fridge/Freezer is tripping out the RCD switch like clockwork every 5 hours. I reset it and 5 hours later it goes again. Anyone know what in the appliance could be causing this? Its a fairly new KENWOOD KSBSX17 thanks

I have a samsung and the remote is horrible (far too many buttons really poorly designed). There's a netflix, amazon and Hulu button but no iplayer. What model do you have?

That sounds great. I like how HUGE all the apps are on screen too! Hope all panasonic tvs use the same OS. thank you

Hi, I'm trying to find a simpleish TV for my Dad so he can watch iplayer. His current one already has iplayer but you have to go through so many steps to open it up, sign in etc... he finds it too confusing Been trying to find one that has an iplayer button on the remote but I don't think it...

See what you mean. Luckily I could pull the old ceiling rose into the loft and dangle a new cable down to the fitting. Thanks for the info

Thanks for the explanation. Am I right in thinking its the plastic enclosed connection box that makes it double insulated or is there something special about the wiring too?

Ah ok, 2 squares thanks. Looks like I'm going to have to put this one up then :eek:

Hi, The missus bought this 2nd hand light fitting off ebay (apparently from john lewis). I'm just wondering why there's no earth connection. The shade, bulb holder and ceiling rose are all metal. I always thought anything with a metal casing should be earthed? Is it safe? thanks

Ah ok this specialist flooring stuff ain't cheap is it! At least I know I'm on the right lines thanks again

Thanks that is an option but I'm keen to get it done in one go. All I can think of is to screw a dozen or so screws into the floor at the required level...I just thought there might be a better way

Hi, I’m going to raise an uneven concrete floor by about 10mm. It need to match the floor height in the room next to it. I can take the level from that floor and work backwards…but I’m wondering what will happen once I get further into the room and can no longer get the level from the other...

Drain and soil pipe

On further inspection the dirt under the joists does feel a little moist next to the drain. I guess this would point a drain issue. Kinda wished I hadn't looked now hehe
