How to Replace an Electrical Socket

Woodie's will show you how to replace an electrical socket. This can be done for decorative reasons or if there is damage on the casing.

A clearer way of explaing this job, than all the other ones on YT, thank you.

This is an amazingly helpful video. My plug socket is sizzling and hissing intermittently. Feel very confident I can replace it myself after seeing this

[PANDAFACEEYES]

Absolutely brilliant. I dread to think how much i woukd have paid to get an electrician to do such a simple job!! Thabk you so much❤

[conor]

[merrinfroggett]

Excellent training video. Clearest teaching to be found.

Thank you, very helpful, nice reliable, simple guide

I really can't believe that until I saw this video, changing a socket was this straightforward thank you! Please confirm, in a relatively new building, the existing wiring can be used? So I can just replace the faceplate?

Wow, Blackberry!

Seriously though, thank you!

Always do a "tug test" on each wire. It's quite common for the screw to bind down on only wire of a pair.

The coors lead singer is an electrician?

[nisarnisar]

Peace. I have a question if you can assist. I plug in my appliance to the wall socket, if for any reason, there is issue, my appliance is shut down and the electricity fuse box needs the switch to be turned on again, the trip switch I think. Now, the question is how do I not goto the trip switch but have another plug to reset ? while the trip switch is ok.

Question what do you do ig there is two earths?

[JuiceBanger]

Leave a note, but what if they can't read. Plug in a hairdryer, but if it was broken....

I want to learn architectural electricity, I lack experience

If you cant prove an electrical circuit is dead you shouldnt be working on it !! You cant just assume a lamp or charger or whatever is proving its dead because its not,

Having 2 CPC in one earth sleeve.. is not a good idea.

No sooner are the words “safety first” out of her mouth than she advises you to use a household appliance to test for dead (0:54). This should NEVER be done, as the appliance itself could have a fault. Always use an appropriate voltage testing device for this. Cannot believe this has been posted as an instructional video. 🙄
