[QUOTE="jumpjamesjump, post: 474002, member: 30868"] Thank you for replying. The kettle belongs to myself and I have already replaced it with a completely plastic one. Yes the kettle based electronics were saturated. The thing is guys I've spoken to the electrician on the phone and he's told me that it's probably all fine and that the installation is just old. Is that true? Or is there a piece of regulation that I can point to and show them that proves the earth wire or installation is not ok? I mean the installation is 100% not working as it should right? 240v on the earth wire for an extended period time (it was at least a couple of hours) should surely trip the MCB or fuse? thanks again [/QUOTE]
