Spilt tea need help fast!

[James bishop]

Hi spilt tea on a single socket outlet with a plug in it. The fuse on the plug went off. Changed the fuse with the same amp rating. Tried it in one of the sockets in the room none of them are working. I dried the socket out abit with a towell but im assumig the liquids went further. What to do none of the sockets are working in the room whereas other room ones are working. Circuit breaker hasnt tripped. Waited 8 hrs for socket to dry to see if it works no luck.

Can you go to your Consumer Unit and look for any switches in the off position (that's usually down). Try putting to on (usually up) . If it immediately clicks off, don't try it again.
And report

Do what Wilko suggests, if the trip trips immediately, you will need the expertise of an Electrician to test the circuit involved. Probably judt residual dampness, but to be safe get a Spark in to take a look, if he is any good it shouldn't cost you very much, but what cost family safety? Don't mess withe the electrics yourself, it's not worth the risk. Where are you situated, could be a Forum Member is near to you and would be willing to help.

All ccu switches were up when the tea spilt and fuse blew. I turned them off and on and they dont trip at all. Checked wiring looked fine no damage to sheathe or copper. Im thinking the outlet needs replacing?

Disconnect wet socket make cables safe then try powering up the circuit.

How many sugars in the tea BTW?

Sorry, SWD... I had to disagree.... We don't know how capable the OP is with electrics and asking him to remove a socket may be too far from his ability.
Best advice is to get an electrician in.

I disconnected the socket and checked wires brushed off some dust hehe and reconnected them still no power. Theres an electrician working 2 doors away from me so might get him to have a look but wanted to see if i can solve it myself without burning the house down as ive got my lvl 3 electrics qualification ill be sure not to and take full precaution

From your profile you say you have a level 3 C&G 2365, I think. Not withstanding you may be in training, you seem to have little grasp of things (with regards your problem), an I'm not trying to be belittling?
