Another great video with a sensible, practical approach. Thanks Ben!

Handy hint for getting appliances back in, if possible get some washing up liquid on the feet and you will find it will slide in very easily

I find a bit of washing up liquid on the feet of white goods helps them back in place

Great video Ben. Daily occurance for me as where I live is FULL of holiday properties. This is exactly how I deal with such appliances and environments.

Thanks for your insights, I've only been Pat testing for a couple of months and have come across the same dilemma's in holiday cottages. These videos have helped me a lot more than the C&G course!

People may feel a ‘visual inspection’ isn’t a proper alternative to a PAT test when it’s difficult to remove built in appliances, but, most of the things I fail are from a visual inspection, not what the machine records. We have the same Seaward machine

Great video once again. A common sense approach to PAT testing. Thanks for taking the time.

The microwave oven leakage test can be done.Also a temp rise over several minutes of a glass of water will tell you if the magnetron is delivering full or near full power.Check microwave for rust and if machine is ten years old or more replace the oven.

I’m a white goods repair tech and every single day work on and repair all of these items.
I work on my own and am dumbfounded that you find this “impossible” in your words.

Thank you for this intuitive video, all knowledge helps others, rather silly idea to place electrical points near water pipes !!!

[vicknight]

Can I ask for advise please. I'm new to pat testing having just passed my exams. While PAT testing a band saw in a workshop I experienced a tiny spark and pop during the test. Is this normal in some cases and if so could you explain why? Thanks for the videos they were a great help in my "training". hope to hear from you soon. I use a Martindale HPAT600. Vic

Hi Ben, just a quick one how would you go about PAT Testing a 3pin to 2 pin converter? The ones I came across are used to charge electric pump trucks for a warehouse. 13 amp fused.

Hi Ben
Re the dishwasher.
Whilst you can’t visually check the back you can still get tester access to the plug to carry out an EC/IR test. Is that not something you would do.
Any feedback appreciated
Keep up the great work

I don’t understand this video. Either u test it or u don’t. Surely the In service inspection and testing or electrical equipment states all appliances should be tested.

I am not a qualified electrician but common sense tells me that those sockets are not to 'code'. In all truth I would walk away from a job like that. And yes, I am a qualified PAT tester so have some electrical knowledge
