Hi There,
I dont know if anyone can offer any advice but would be much appreicited
We brought our house just under three years ago and have until recently a few minor electrical problems i had noticed in the past that if a light bulb went in the lounge it would trip the RCD in the fuse box and we have had trouble with the extractor light every time i replaced the bulb it would blow either straight away or after a few days i dont bother any more.
Last week the RCD tripped out again for no reason so i swiched it back on again then a few days later i went to put the dishwaser on and it wouldnt come on so i presumed that there was a fault with the dishwasher the next day the RCD tripped out again this time it wouldnt come back on again so all the sockets in the house wouldnt work i unplugged the dishwasher from the main socket and tried the RCD again this time it went back on.
We had a friend pop up to take a look he is an electrician he put a prob in the dishwasher socket and this caused the RCD to trip out again so looks like an instalation problem somewhere rather than the dishwasher he has advised us to contact the house builder but i was wondering would we be covered for anything now we have lived in the house for 2 years, 10 months not sure what to do next, or should i contact insurance company dont want to have to pay out a fortune if it was the house builders fault has anyone any advice or help they could give. Thanks Zoe
