Today I changed an old storage heater switch for a normal single socket. All seemed to go well.
I plugged in my 1250W Haverland heater to it and it went on fine and started heating up.
After 20-30 minutes I went though to check on the heater and saw that it was off. I plugged into another socket and it worked fine.
I’ve taken the socket off, checked the wiring is secure. Checked the circuit breaker at the panel, everything seems fine on the surface, but no power from the socket. I even went and bought a second socket to make sure the first wasn’t faulty but it too wouldn’t work when fitted.
Anyone got any ideas as to where I’ve gone wrong? Might I need a new circuit breaker?
