Hi all, I have a problem with my consumer unit tripping out.Typically,it started Xmas eve
I've narrowed it down to the kitchen circuit, when I try to turn the kitchen switch back on, the main switch will trip.
I have disconnected everything in the kitchen from all plug sockets including dishwasher and washing machine etc,and over Xmas have had to run extension leads from the hall to run the appliances.
The problem is,that even with everything unplugged the switch still trips,so what am I looking for?
I'm thinking possibly a live or neutral come adrift in a socket and touching where it shouldn't ? I don't think we've had mouse activity ( we've got 3 cats,they wouldn't dare)
Anything else I should be looking for,and what would be the best plan of attack?
TIA
