Dear All,
Just went into kicthen and could smell a sort of burning / bleach / ozone smell, hard to describe. Traced to undertsairs cupboard where consumer unit is located. When i put my hand on top of the cover it was very warm on the rhs so i carefully removed the cover.
Two cables have signs of overheating and the plastic mounting is slightly melted, please see photo.
This circuit includes the kitchen where i had both the dishwasher and kettle on at the same time when i noticed the smell, i have obviously switched everything off on this circuit and informed wife not to witch back on.
Electrician will be called, what i need to know, is this a monday morning call or an emergency sunday night call via yellow pages as i dont have a sparks on my list of trades i have used in this house / area?
Cheers.
