Am I liable to pay

[jean1289]

**** happens. How much is the invoice?

£66, but to whom has ---- happened?

I've just tried. Nothing tripped. So I tried it in the socket it was in when the problem occurred and it is working there also. I'm lost.

Doesn't seem like the toaster to me, although unless it's tested you can't be 100% sure.

 

[jean1289]

As Westward says, try the toaster in another socket on another circuit. On another rcd if you have a dual rcd board.

It's working in all sockets now, even turned on

 

[andyb]

Not the toaster, though the last thing to do I suppose is to actually make some toast so the toaster gets to full heat, a fault may develop though I doubt it.

Get back to your landlord.

I will do, thank you.

where in the uk are you? there may be a member near you who could pat test the toaster for the cost of a beer if you took it to them.
you can then go back to the agent with something that disproves the original diagnosis of the electrician.

not 1 but 2 faulty toasters, when one is only a month old is such a rare thing. it all seems wrong.
although sometimes strange things happen.

I've not up on me Cluedo skills; thought its be narrowed down to your toaster?

If so £66, is not half bad.

not convinced the toaster is actually faulty

 

[westward10]

Nor me it would be very unusual.

Hi - it could be a fault in the outlet you normally have the toaster plugged into, or the toaster. Sorry if I missed it, but does the toaster work fine now when it’s plugged into the original outlet?

I'm in cheshire, I'm going to have a look and see who is about and could test it for me, thanks.

If it is my toaster then £66 is more than reasonable. If not then it is £66 too much.

To have a faulty toaster causing nuisance tripping when plugged into a socket which is switched off would be very unlucky and not something I can recall having come across[the socket may be Single Pole, but it may very well be Double Pole]. To have the brand new replacement toaster doing the same thing...well knock me over with a feather but I don't think so

@telectrix I think covers your area

 

[jean1289]

Yes that is correct, even when powered on. I don't know if it is relevant be worth mentioning that the trip didn't occur until any socket in the upstairs or downstairs loop, or the boiler attempted to draw power. I.e if all socket were turned off then I tried to turn the socket on for a TV upstairs, the power would trip.

Sounds great I'll have a look. Thanks.
