Tripping Circuit Breaker

[stender]

Hi All,
I had a wardrobe fitted on friday and noticed on saturday morning that my heating hadnt come on. Checked my electric and the heating circuit breaker had tripped. Flipped it back on and was ok until this afternoon when ive found its tripped again. Back on again but obviously something wrong. It may be linked to the wardrobe being fitted but no way to prove that. It may be coincidence but any way I can track what's causing it to trip? We only know by the house getting cold and then notice the heating programmer has no power.

Is the wardrobe fixed to the wall?

Is the room it's in upstairs or down?

Called the fitter who said he didnt drill the walls so maybe a coincidence. When it went off I noticed our outdoor spotlights were also off so some cowboy may of put them on the same main marked as heating. If that is the case it could be water getting in one of those I suppose? Been living here 18months and not had an issue before. If it trips again I could try turning off the outside lights at it's mains socket in the garage but not sure how long to wait. As I said when i flipped the breaker back its been ok for over 24 hrs.

Merely didn't alter the label. You can do it.

Not likely to trip an MCB; maybe an RCCB or RCBO.

Can only test by leaving off and then leaving on.

Might possibly be full of water.

Is it a socket or a switch.

It might not make any difference if it is a single-pole socket or switch.

Its an mt110 mcb. What I have also just noticed is that my electric meter for my solar panels is flashing LCD so perhaps that went off when the heating mcb flipped. It's flipped twice now but been ok for last 24 hours.
Now need to also work out how to reset the solar meter!

It’s tripped today so I’ve flipped it back but.switched the outside lights off via fused switch in the garage. Problem is how long I leave them off as it hasn’t tripped for a couple of days.
