funny. i was thinking along similar lines but my thoughts were water splashed or spilt on toaster. now dried out it's OK.I recently went to a house with and RCD tripping, it turned out to be the toaster. The occupier had dropped something metallic in the toaster, causing a N to E short. After tipping the metal object out, the toaster worked fine and nothing tripped.
Thats a bit harsh, I bet most of the UK has SP sockets.The situation arose because of the Landlords installation being low cost
If the installation did not comprise cheap (and in this case) ineffective single pole sockets,the toaster would have not stopped the supply being reset
The Landlord relied on single pole devices when double pole are prefered and readily available,it not only smells of cheap and nasty but silliness and to a certain degree negligence on their part given the installation is being used for Rental
If they try and charge ask them for compensation for the time you had to endure power off for no good reason
Only time I have ever seen a fault caused by a toaster was when someone tried toasting a portion of baguette in one and the width of the bread forced parts of the bread carrier against the elements causing it to trip.
Gotta be sharp with the wicket keepers gloves when it ejects your tasty molten snack is all I will say.If you are a student, it's common to turn the toaster on its side and slide in a slice with mac and cheese on it...an improvised George Foreman grill...
trust me, bad things happen!
did you get a piece of toast as a tip?@jean1289
The last rogue toaster I looked at had the following "faults"
The crumb tray at the bottom had never been cleared out
A large sultana from a tea cake was wedged inside, shorting out the element to the metal earth of the device.
What I did (you can do this) UNPLUG the thing. Clean it out so there's no debris. That should sort it.
PS I charged my standard minimum of two hours. Easy money!!
i had them. surgeon fixed in a day.Croutons! That’s what we have here.
