Red neon light blown on Boiler wall socket switch and kitchen trip switch won't turn on

Hi,

First time posting - hope you can all help me!

The trip switch won't go back on for my kitchen sockets (all lights are fine) and keeps circuiting if I try! I have turned off all the switches and removed all appliances from the sockets.

I have noticed that the boiler which is wired into a socket has blown the neon light at the top, and after changing the fuse, still won't turn on.

What should I do? I assume it is an issue with the boiler, but could it be the fuse box? Help!

Thanks for any suggestions / guidance!!

    I'm assuming the boiler as well or a problem with the wiring in the hard wired socket

    So you mean the boilers not working at all or just the neon light not working

  • Have you tried removing the fuse on the boiler spur socket and then trying to turn the trip switch back on?

    Is it a a standard MCB with just live wire or an RCBO trip? Tell us the Model & make which should be written on it if you don't know what the difference is.

    Any water been leaking from the boiler?

    Have you unplugged fridge/freezer? Also hob - is that plugged in?

    Best bet - contact an electrician who will know what he is doing to sort it out
