[QUOTE="HootsMon, post: 500283, member: 33012"] Thx binky and prodave. Appliance has the correctly rated socket (based on the dishwasher specs its 13A). Its possible I snagged the insulation but not sure why both L and N burnt out - from what I can see on the failed socket I did wire correctly (usually double the copper for safety but I'm no expert). As I can confirm its a spur 'extension' to unfused socket that is probably where the problem arises. as noted separately I need to get the whole arrangement checked when I can. Not using it until I can. [ATTACH]10835._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10836._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10837._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
