[tonto33]

went to customer today to repair his fridge (as im domestic appliance engineer) and when got there he fitting electrics to his shed, put couldnt get his light to work, asked if i knew anything about electrics, simple answer not really, my old man is a sparky not me,anyway thought ask on here as got go back on tuesday to regas his fridge, he run 2.5 cable from upstairs socket, drilled hole through wall wire cable to back of socket down to outside weatherproof junction box then cable out and across to the shed, which then goes into junction box, with one cable running round to a 2 gang socket,which works, then another cable coming from bottom af the junction box then runs across to a ceiling rose, then another cable comes out of ceiling rose back across the roof to a 2 gang 2 way light switch, has power across all the cables put the light wont work, only the socket works, where did he go wrong but from being tight and not getting a sparky in lol

He needs a lot more than that! Are you suitably qualified and insured to give out that kind of advice?

Now that is a daft question. He claims to be an appliance technician but my money's on him sparking too!

I believed everything in the original post initially, but after reading that comment I have lost all faith. Daz

I believe that you are going above and beyond the call of duty by taking this dude's home made bodge up on your shoulders.

Just re-gas the fridge, get paid and move on friend.
