Kitchen sockets out

    Folks have a late night problem.

    All of the sockets in the kitchen have suddenly stopped working within the last few hours. I checked the fuse board and everything is normal, I knocked the switches off and back on and still nothing.

    There was a power cut in the area today but they were working after that.

    Anybody any suggestions?

    Unplug everything in the kitchen. Check the fuse-board and the RCD. Plug in one at a time and see does it fuse again

    Are your lights working in the kitchen?

    Yep everything else in the house is working as normal, it's just the kitchen sockets.
    I tried unplugging everything and still nothing.

    Are there any fuses in the board apart from the main or is it all modern MCB?

    Yeah, there was a loose connection on the fuse board. The kitchen live wasn't put into the terminal correctly it was kind of wedged at the back of it. It was rewired a few years ago so for whatever reason it played up all of a sudden.

    I got a proper sparks in to run over it and certify it. The bottom half as you can see in the pic is a mess so RECI will sort that with the ESB when his cert goes in.
