Sorry two questions today. We had the kitchen rewired based on existing units, but with a slightly new layout it puts the dishwasher right over the socket, which I hear can be bad and burn out the plug when they touch.
I’ve got a socket with no switch, with a fused switch above controlling it...

Hi all.
I just unscrewed the faceplate in order to replace the scoket and noticed that there is a red and a green wire going into the Earth terminal. Is this red wire an earth, despite the colouring? I've put it back in for now as I didn't want to mess with it.

I am wiring a 3 prong 220 plug in a feeder panel with 12/2 wire. Should I hook the ground wire to the ground bus or to the neutral bus? The neutral bus is isolated from the ground bus and the panel box.

Could someone please tell me how I can convert the wire so it is smaller and fits in the back of a standard switched...
Hello,
So I noticed my fridge had lost power, disconnected it and tried a hoover in the same socket and this also wouldn't work. I tried the fridge in a different socket and this worked fine.
I checked the main fuse box and nothing has tripped. The RCD is still in the on position. I tried...
Hi there, I have two isolation switches above a kitchen workcounter. They currently turn off the power to a pair of unswitched sockets which are hidden in a cupboard. They were previously used for a integrated washing machine and tumble drier we had plugged in, which we removed. As the plug is...

Hello
My dear old mother tried to clean the tiles in our utility room by using a damp rag and I think some water may have dripped into our plug socket which is connected to the washing machine. She removed the washing machine plug whilst she was cleaning the tiles and plugged it in afterwards...

I use my shed for pottery and it’s currently wired to have 2 sockets and a light switch (fused down from one of the sockets). Currently I draw less than 300 watts of power. As it’s getting cold I’d like to plug in a heater out there but my husband says it’s not a good idea as my shed isn’t...
