Morning everyone
I have my first problem with the in 8 months.:Sad:
Last week while away at Ullwell Cottage in Swanage we noticed a very faint burning smell coming from the cuboard which houses the electrics and water boiler. Had a look around inside and couldnt locate where it was coming from. At this time we were running the heating and had the telly on.(EHU)
No different to what we have been usung over the last 8 months.
Later that evening whilst watching telly with heating on one of the main fuse tripped in the cuboard, the telly went off as did the power to both 3 pin sockets and the heater stopped working. All lights and water pump still worked.
I unplugged the telly and flipped breaker back on, heating worked for about 20 minutes and then tripped again. i then plugged our 600w oil rad on and the same happened again.
Located the smell to the electric box which house circut breakers and could hear a faint crackling noise like a dodgy plug makes when switched on. you can only hear it when using electric.
Any ideas? Tried the test button on breaker box and that works fine. How do i take front off box to inspect security of wires and see whats melting or burning?
Van sat getting cold and damp
