    Tumble dryer extension plug melted.

    Don't worry, I haven't. Replaced the plug and all back to normal.

    Tumble dryer extension plug melted.

    Yes, there could have been a fire - and I caught it before that happened. As it had worked perfectly for 6 years, I am sure that if there was anything dangerous, things would have happened much earlier than they did. Others have agreed with the person who said that the fuse had become loose in...

    Tumble dryer extension plug melted.

    I appreciate the time you have spent and am glad, in the grand scale of things, it was nothing serious - although glad I caught it. I will replace the extension with the higher grade cable.

    Tumble dryer extension plug melted.

    Six years ago, I had a double socket installed in my store room. This was placed next to the fuse box and its purpose was so I could connect my tumble dryer. The socket was too far away from the dryer, so I bought some 1.5mm flex and wired in an extension from the newly installed double...

    Am I legally allowed to add a spur

    The last resistant tests were done a couple of years ago, when I got a sparky in to add a socket in the utility room.

    Am I legally allowed to add a spur

    The curcuit is on a ring, as each socket in bedroom and lounge is connected to each other. All sockets have two wires, so has to be a ring, as if it was radial, the final socket would terminate.

    Am I legally allowed to add a spur

    Having just redecorated, I would like to put a table lamp in the hallway, but there are no plug sockets. Where I want the socket is adjacent to a socket on the lounge wall, so it would be easy to add a spur from this socket, with some 2.5 T&E and drill through the plasterboard. The socket I...
