Tenant thinks it could be faulty because MCB tripped once on 11/04. I had a builder doing some some work few days ago, he was testing one socket so asked him to test the rest and no fault was found, it was documented in the invoice. I sent a copy of invoice to T, they don't want to accept...

Hi Can a plumber or a builder check an electrical socket if faulty using socket tester? Or do I need an NICEIC or NAPET qualified electrician? Thanks

CORRECT.

Hi I've got a hot point frost free fridge freezer, it's in flat rented to tenants. The fridge part is iced as in pic attached. It's set to the lowest 1. There is a manual switch, photo and function from manual are also attached. Any ideas? Thanks

Tenant reported electrical fault, MCB tripped on 11/04 first time ever in 30 years, but said washing machine was not working. It was one off, I went there but all looked good, my electrician said no need to investigate at this stage.

Are you serious! Who mentioned court! As you say, you ain't expert.... Read posts carefully next time and what's about: " it is working but is it safe? Do I have to honour the maintenance if breaks down?" I asked a technical question, this ain't landlord or NRLA forum, it is DIY forum. The post...

They said my machine was making noise when spinning which is a fib They have their own machine, claimed. it's bigger. They can't show invoice or job reports that Currys is been to the property and done any works. I am booking plumber at my cost, only to check installation for leaks and...

Tenants are still at the property, another10 months end of tenancy. They were using it last week when I was there. I have told them in emails, washing machine will be disposed as no longer safe for next tenancy. They didn't tell they're removing my washing machine, I found out during a...

Making alteration without permission is breach of tenancy. They claim disconnection and removal reinstall was all done by Currys but no invoices or documentation.

After the inspection in Feb; sent email told them they're breach of the tenancy, washing machine now in the elements no longer safe to be used asked them to dispose and sent them Currys quotation for a new one. Last week, I went to the property, machine re installed operational while I was...

Hi In rental property, my tenant removed my washing and stored it in the balcony for few months in the elements, then re-installed against my advise, it is working but is it safe? Do I have to honour the maintenance if breaks down? Photo how was stored is attached. Thanks

The fuse in the plug for the washing isn't blown, the machine was on being used when I was there on Wednesday, 5 days after the incident. Tenant hasn't reported another mcb trip , is there a need for electrician to investigate? I spoke to my electrician, he said no need if only once.

You're right third is different. Pic below.

MCBs reacts quicker to short circuits and over loads?

In simple terms: The mcb will break circuit when short circuit or current overload . The rcd will trip when there is difference in currents in L and N. Still can't understand: 1. In MCB CU: Why didn't fuse blow but MCB tripped? 2. In RCD CU: Why fuse blew but RCD didn't trip?

Thanks, what is earth fault L-E?

Hi I had an led batten light wired to a fused plug: On RCD CU: Plugged in wall socket; fuse blew , RCD did not trip.. On MCB CU: plugged in wall socket; fuse didn't blow, MCB tripped. Then supplier then tells me it was a faulty light. Photo of CUs attached. I guess reason is short circuit...

There is fridge, air fryer, kettle, toaster and microwave, hood, washing machine, hob ignition fused spur, boiler fused spur on same mcb. It is MCB, photo attached. The fridge freezer is frost free, there was excessive ice built up fridge compartment which needs to be addressed, would that...

Update and apologies: I misunderstood the scenario. The MCB tripped last Friday with a loud noise. It was reset and been fine since. Following the incident, tenant purchased extension with surge protection, they say they use one appliance at a time. There was no burn sign on sockets or spurs and...
