Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
Why would there be 2 lines into 1 socket?

@OM2 What are you going to do when (more likely when and not if) you put in a brand new socket and it still doesnt work?
Have you tried plugging something else in to the socket? Does that work?
Is there a fuse switch, perhaps above the worktop, that controls that socket? Or a grid switch array somewhere?
have any other sockets stopped working, or just this one?
PS. Those non-contact pens are great in some circumstances. But they only detect the presence of a live voltage. For your diswasher to work it needs a live and a neutral. That magic wand wont help you if the neutral line is broken somewhere, you need a two probe test device.

Absolutely. If you separate them, either you have broken a ring circuit, and that could mean on overload of the cables. Or the next socket in the chain will not work.
Yes it absolutely is.
