Yes it is a socket breaker. It is like it has tripped but will switch on but won't switch off. It was installed about 18 months agoNo it's not common. I've only seen it once when the terminal screws were grossly overtightened.
If the switch is moving to the off position but the power is still on:
Is this for a socket circuit? If so it is possible that it is a ring circuit that has been connected across more than one circuit breaker.
Sounds like you will need an electrician to check the circuit breaker /wiring inside the consumer unit.

OK thanks. We had a new kitchen installed approx 6 months ago and the electrician had a problem with another breaker doing the same thing. Don't know if he had connected wrong. Would it do the same thing to 2 breakers.Sounds like you will need an electrician to check the circuit breaker /wiring inside the consumer unit.

OK thanks. I'll get a electrician to check it over. Thanks for your time.I reckon you could have a back feed issue from another circuit
