Electric Problem
 

Got a problem that one of the switches in the main control box keeps tripping - its nothing major just the door entry phone and the a/c control in the kitchen - keep putting it back on but it only lasts a couple of minutes. Is there anything else I can do or just call an electrician tomorrow

Oh well guess I'll just have to wake up to a hot kitchen then :rolleyes:

Sounds like something has shorted, get an electrician in and watch as they fault find with bare wire.

Last week had a light in the house start smoking and blew the circuit breaker, it was water ingress, which is still related to the flooding a few months back.

Sounds like the a/c. Turn the a/c off and switch the breaker back on. if it stays on call an air conditioning company... If not then call an electrician..

switch everything off, put the breaker back in and than start pluging things in and switching them on one at time. Should be able to isolate the problem. Then likely you will need an electrician or take the appliance to the dealer.

Good luck and be carefull! don't get :scared:

There is only two items -door entry phone and a/c. Your -sound- advice would be for a ring main type fault.

Air conditioners have a 3 minute time delay to the 'outdoor' section before they heat/cool therefore 'it only lasts a few minutes then trips' ties in with the air conditioner timing out ,trying to run and blowing the fuse/trip..

However diagnosing at 4k miles isn't easy..

Heheheh thanks for your help everyone, was just as you said Richard something to do with the a/c - anyway the a/c man went onto the roof and located a loose wire and taped it :eek: (what more do you expect from here :D ) and seems to have solved the problem.
