I know, 2nd post in 24 hours. I'm like a bus!
Anyway, a sparky went round to fit a light for my gran yesterday while I was there and everything worked fine but I had a call this morning saying the freezer has stopped working. When I ran up to check, the RCCB had gone protecting the kitchen and the upstairs lights. But the MCBs were fine. On invest, I turned the 3 MCBs off that were protected and switched the RCCB back on. Obviously didn't pop. The second I put the upstairs MCB on the RCCB trips. With the lights MCB off I turn the kitchen MCB on and as soon as anything is turned on in the kitchen, the RCcB trips. (The third circuit protected is the downstairs lights, that appears fine). I reckon a wire or dodgy light fitting is causing the upstairs lights to trip but what about the kitchen? I'm going to nip up after the school run and drop the light that was fitted and see what happens. I'm competent using flukes etc so no need for concern.
Any ideas would be great though.
Many thanks
