[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 435746, member: 17152"] This has all the hallmarks of a damaged cable, suspect as said kitchen cabinet fixings in line of electrical outlets, or more likely the fused spur has trapped the live conductor on the lug at the bottom of the back box when fitting back, one reason all unused lugs are hammered flat on spurs when I fit them. Look at the kitchen layout and visualise the cables within the wall, they should travel either horizontally or vertically through the centre line of the outlet. A quick method to establish any cable breaches by fixings within this line would be testing fixing for voltage when Mcb is ON. A safer approach would be with insulation testing followed by continuity test to locate. Any GOOD electrician would find this within a short time frame. [/QUOTE]
