Morning
Came downstairs and socket circuit is off. Everything else ok
The MCB switch is off, and there is no play in it at all. By that I mean it won't go back up to the ON position. Its the first time it's happened in this house (bought last year) so I don't know if this is what is supposed to happen but it won't click back to on like the others do. Is this how its supposed to work? I'm obviously new to this!
I've unplugged everything, switched all sockets off and switched all spurs off
It still won't switch back on
I do have some outside lights that are plugged in via a transformer to a switched spur, I've taken the fuse out of that though and still nothing
First question is do I need to have the electricity off to switch it back on? I didn't think I did
Second is that if I've turned everything off that is on the circuit and the MCB won't switch back on; what if anything can I do now?
It's a Sunday so don't want to get anyone out, plus I ran an extension from the kitchen for the router so its not the end of the world if it's not sorted until tomorrow
Is there anything else I can check though?
