Cooking tea about an hour ago and suddenly the electrics had tripped (The RCD circuit switch on consumer unit).
At forst thought this might be the boiler as we have been having trouble swith it but upon isolating the hob switch the RCD switch worked fine. If i turned the hob switch on the RCD switch would trip again.
Any ideas?
Had a look inside the socket that is the problem and again if this is switched on the RCD switch trips but the inside of the socket seems in good condition and everything is connected ok. Had a look in the consumer unit and the hob swictch also seems to be ok with a thin brown cable coming out of it and thats connected fine.
Any clues on whats causing this, never had a problem before. Apart from wasting some chicken im starving!!!
