Hi All,
I am hoping somebody can help me.
My problems started about 6 on Christmas Eve, one of the switches on my fuseboard kept tripping. We turned all the applicancies off and then turned them on one by one and it appeared that it was the heater in the bathroom, so kept that off and it seemed to be ok. That was until about the same time yesterday, when the same thing happened.
I live in a new build block of flats, two years old. So I rang the customer emergency helpline and when they called back, they suggested that it may be the fridge, so i turned that off and all seemed ok. I turned it back on last night before going to bed and it all seems fine at the moment (fingers crossed). THe fridge is new, came with the flat and is intergraded(not my choice).
Due to time of year, there is nobody there to come out to check until next week. I have two questions, is there a chance that it may trip again and knock out all the electricity? and also is there anything i can do to try to stop it happening until I can get somebody to come out.
Many thanks for any help/advice
 
What does it say on the device that is tripping? (and does it have a test button) and what goes off when it trips out?

Even better, if you could take a pic of the consumer unit/fuse board and upload it to the likes of imageshack and link us to it :)
