I'm also not an Electrician so excuse the lack of knowledge here if this comes across as a particularly stupid question but wanted to find an answer online before ringing an electrician and asking stupid questions
We've lived in our house for almost a year now and the meter was installed by the previous owner who did the house up in order to sell it. We have a Wylex meter and as far as i know it hasn't been checked since it was installed. We've never had a problem until yesterday. The washing machine seems to be tripping it on the drying cycle. This sounds a bit strange to me as there is no problem until it goes onto the drying cycle and we've had the washing machine since we move din with no problems. I thought maybe the power supply was just being overloaded but turned everything off except for the washing machine and tested it and it only seems to trip when the washing machine is running it's drying cycle. We've dried stuff before obviously it just started happening last night....
Does anyone have any idea what this might be? I don't want to ring up an electrician and ask if they can look at our meter because the washing machine's drying cycle trips it as .. well it sounds a little strange to me.
We tested it again this morning and as soon as the drying cycle started it tripped.
