[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 495509, member: 1607"] Welcome to the forum. Are you sure ALL of the fuse-box switches are UP (ON)? Sometimes an MCB ( the switch fuses in the fuse-box ) may have a dirty contact that does not fully remake the circuit when you switch it back up after it has tripped 'off . Manually switch it OFF & ON two or three times in-case it is just a dodgy MCB contact. How old is the house wiring? if it is getting on a bit and you have had no routine inspection done in the past 10 years, then there may be a wiring fault that would probably need a qualified competent person to trace and rectify.
