Hi all
Got a problem with a kitchen i fitted a couple of years ago.
the customer got their own electrician to fit a new ring in the kitchen on its 2 way rcd protected box along with the lighting.
i went back on friday to change the sink unit and fit a new belfast sink.
Now they had a double socket fitted to the sink unit which had a washer and dishwasher connected,which i disconnected so i could change the unit.
Got everything back together again plugged them both in and it knocked the rcd out,so i checked polarity and to make sure i hadnt knicked a cable which were all fine and i changed the socket.
Everything else in the kitchen works fine and if i plug either the dishwasher or washing machine in by themselves they work fine but the minute i plug the other appliance in it trips out.
i can even run all appliances in the kitchen. And then go under the sink plug ONE of the problem appliances along with a drill and they work fine,but when i swap my drill for the other appliance it trips out.
And iv tried running an extension to 1 appliance and leaving the other plugged in under the sink
Now the cables will have got wet but i dired it all out as best as i could and even had a hair dryer under there too
I hope that makes sense and someone can help
