Hi All,
I plugged in my hoover about a week ago and the plug fuse blew. The cable had worn out and the resulting bang left a black mark on the wall beneath the socket.
I was expecting the RCD at the consumer unit to trip but it didn't. Should it have? I tried the test button and it worked fine.
I have attached a photo - I reckon the unit was installed when the house was built c.1997.
Happy New Year.
