You just saved my sanity at 11pm. Single mum of 2 special needs kids. Freezing our noonahs off. Thank you so much 💜

I watched about 10 rubbish videos until this one where someone actually explains how the fuse system works, rather than just telling you to flick switchs up and down! Very informative and clear and helped me to solve and understand the problem.

After four other videos and 2hrs without power - you explained it in less than two minutes and now I'm off to find a new fridge. Thank you!! 👍🏽

thanks this helped me! 19 years old and this was my first experience with the rcd tripping, cheers mate 💪🏼

Thank you. I wasn’t sure what to do at this time of night and my daughter was petrified of the sudden blackout. All sorted now. Very easy to follow steps 😊

Dankeschön 🙏🏻. RCD in house also tripped and it was weekend. If I hadn’t seen your video I wouldn’t have been able to find the fault and get electricity to rest of the house. Awesome work🙌🏻

Legend, whole house went down at 11pm and I was going potty trying to figure it out alone. YouTube can teach you anything so it seems!

Thankyou.. my daughter and I were at a total loss as what to do when the lights suddenly went out.. after wasting time on a few unhelpful videos we thankfully came across yours. Clear information.. 👍

Great video.... simply explained to someone that hasn’t got a clue. 😊I was confused why some not all sockets and everything in my kitchen had lost power and the fuse box socket black switches were all still in the on position and not tripped. Then I discovered (thanks to your video) the green RCD switch... and how to trace the cause. Unplugged everything... Blasted iron, being used upstairs, now in the bin. All power and other appliances now back working. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

[leah]

bless you! saved some very confused students this evening 😭 we have re-energised the RCD!!

AYEEE thank you so much for this video. I’m 17, don’t know anything about electricity but this helped me tons...

Thank you for this, helped me help my wife while I was at work. She rang me saying the downstairs electric wasn’t working, but upstairs was ok. I knew about the switches that might have tripped so I told her to check that all the switches were on. Then I got her to send me a picture so I could check myself. I could see one of the RCD. switches was red and in the down position, I used this video to check if the switches should both be on and what would happen if it kept tripping off. Thank you very much 👍🏻

Thank you for your amazing video! Power just went off for all the wall power ports. Followed your video and managed to isolate the problematic circuit breaker. At least the other circuit breakers are working now after switching on RCD. Going to contact electrician in the morning.

Great video, very informative. Saves me having to call my landlord out urgently as it was the cooker tripping and it was not needed. Thanks!

[akezander]

Very helpful and clear. I had a partial power cut in my flat today but was able to restore thanks to your video. Thank you ever so much!

[yanas]

Thank you very much.
Your explanation helps me. I did not call the electrician again when he did not turn up. I followed your instructions. If it was not your video, I would've never known. Thank you again.

[sabinamukhtarova]

What a life saving video ! Thanks a lot ! Electricity went off when I was using toaster and couldn’t get electrician! Thanks

[macnaldo]

Hey mate it's the Easter bank hoilday and can't get a hold of my landlord my power has being down over a day. I just watched this video... And like magic I've got power back thank you

[lorenas]

This video was really helpful. Got most of the house back up and running and can sort out the rest with the electrician. Emergency over!

[raymondwilliams]

Thank you! Following your advice, I discovered it was my downstairs sockets and remedy the fault, accordingly!
