Hi, I just bought my wife a metcalfe (professional catering equipment) sm5 mixer from eBay and picked it up today. It was demonstrated to me to be working when I went to pick it up, but when I got it home and plugged it in to our mains it wouldn't work, and then I noticed neither would anything else in the house! I checked the fuse box, and yes it had blown the fuse.
I don't know anything about electrics, but am sure there is something wrong with the setup on this thing. I've checked the machine itself which has some details on the unit with a serial number which says that it is a 230v 1.5a machine. The plug that is attached to it says 250v 13amp. Is that where the problem is going to lie, and if so why do it work at the buyers house but not mine?
Any help appreciated, as I say I know nothing about electrics, and I was rather hoping to score some brownie points with this rather than just wasting some (but thankfully not too much) money!
