Hi,
Having a problem with RCD tripping after having a leak from the bathroom into downstairs toilet.
The water from upstairs came through the light fitting in the downstairs toilet. I have removed the light fitting, dried all the wiring and dried out the light fitting. The light now works fine. After a couple of days of the water leak found that the RCD had tripped and would not reset. Unplugged everything in the house and managed to reset it. It now trips whenever an appliance such as kettle, fridge, microwave is turned on. Doesn' t trip for things such as tvs, lamps or phone chargers.
Is this down to some water having got to the electrics and just needs time to dry out? Or something else unrelated?
Thanks
