Hello,
I'm pretty sure I've overloaded a socket.
I plugged a new printer into a 6 socket extension block that already had 5 sockets filled. I imediately lost power from the wall socket and the 3 next to it (there is a row of 4 on the wall). Strangely I have also lost power to my electric shower.
I've checked and rechecked the fuses and they all seem fine. Luckily I have a Home Care plan from British gas that covers existing electrics but they cant come till Monday next week.
I was wondering if there was anything I may be able to do to fix this problem,taking into account I do'nt have experience beyond rewiring a plug!
Any help would beappreciated.
