You just saved my sanity at 11pm. Single mum of 2 special needs kids. Freezing our noonahs off. Thank you so much 💜
I watched about 10 rubbish videos until this one where someone actually explains how the fuse system works, rather than just telling you to flick switchs up and down! Very informative and clear and helped me to solve and understand the problem.
After four other videos and 2hrs without power - you explained it in less than two minutes and now I'm off to find a new fridge. Thank you!! 👍🏽
Thank you. I wasn’t sure what to do at this time of night and my daughter was petrified of the sudden blackout. All sorted now. Very easy to follow steps 😊
thanks this helped me! 19 years old and this was my first experience with the rcd tripping, cheers mate 💪🏼
Great video, very informative. Saves me having to call my landlord out urgently as it was the cooker tripping and it was not needed. Thanks!
Thank you for this, helped me help my wife while I was at work. She rang me saying the downstairs electric wasn’t working, but upstairs was ok. I knew about the switches that might have tripped so I told her to check that all the switches were on. Then I got her to send me a picture so I could check myself. I could see one of the RCD. switches was red and in the down position, I used this video to check if the switches should both be on and what would happen if it kept tripping off. Thank you very much 👍🏻
Ton's of thank you, you have resolved my house issue, i was really stuck.....Please add more videos....
Dankeschön 🙏🏻. RCD in house also tripped and it was weekend. If I hadn’t seen your video I wouldn’t have been able to find the fault and get electricity to rest of the house. Awesome work🙌🏻
Very helpful and clear. I had a partial power cut in my flat today but was able to restore thanks to your video. Thank you ever so much!
Great video.... simply explained to someone that hasn’t got a clue. 😊I was confused why some not all sockets and everything in my kitchen had lost power and the fuse box socket black switches were all still in the on position and not tripped. Then I discovered (thanks to your video) the green RCD switch... and how to trace the cause. Unplugged everything... Blasted iron, being used upstairs, now in the bin. All power and other appliances now back working. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Thankyou.. my daughter and I were at a total loss as what to do when the lights suddenly went out.. after wasting time on a few unhelpful videos we thankfully came across yours. Clear information.. 👍
AYEEE thank you so much for this video. I’m 17, don’t know anything about electricity but this helped me tons...
Thank you! Following your advice, I discovered it was my downstairs sockets and remedy the fault, accordingly!
Legend, whole house went down at 11pm and I was going potty trying to figure it out alone. CZcams can teach you anything so it seems!
Thank you so much for the video! Was able to get everything fixed so easily!
This was so helpful! Thank you very much! Spot on!
Sir thank-you so much.. I was able to restore power in my bed room..the fault was in kitchen..however I was able to sleep that night...since power was restored following this video in my bedroom... thank-you
Could we have one on safety/ needs during a power cut? I know there are a lot of people who might panic in this situation so it might be useful? Great to see you have a channel!
Thank you very much.
Your explanation helps me. I did not call the electrician again when he did not turn up. I followed your instructions. If it was not your video, I would've never known. Thank you again.
Thank you! That was very useful for me in the middle of the night!
Thanks for posting this, really helped me today :)
Excellent video instructions. Worked exactly as you stated. Thank you very much and God bless you.
Thank you for your amazing video! Power just went off for all the wall power ports. Followed your video and managed to isolate the problematic circuit breaker. At least the other circuit breakers are working now after switching on RCD. Going to contact electrician in the morning.
It's 3am and. You just saved us!! Thank you so much!!
THANK YOU for this amazing video and for saving us money on an electrician. We rectified the washer/dryer as the problem (hopefully just the fuse) but was able to get the boiler and everything else on due to the video. Thanks so much ❤
I had a spurious tripping RCD. The cause, a newly fitted smart meter too close to the consumer unit. When the smart meter ramped up the signal to send off the meter readings it was enough RF interference to trip the RCD. Temp fix with a RF shield (tin foil on cardboard) proved it. Fitted a newer RCD and no further issues. Bloody pain!
You did well to solve that issue! The transmitter on the smart meter must be strong
Amazing video! A small thing helped saved both the girls job! Appreciate the good work! Thank you
This video was really helpful. Got most of the house back up and running and can sort out the rest with the electrician. Emergency over!
Same here, thanks
Thanks for the advice mate.. got electric back on
Thank you! Saved my life at 1 am!
Thanks! You’ve just helped me to get power back!
Brilliant video, power back on. Going to get my electrics checked as well . Thank you for your help.
Superb advice, thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this followed advice now power back on in my kitchen. I isolated the problem to faulty socket which I will get electrician to fix but thanks again you saved me £££ not having to call emergency electrician on a Sunday!
Hi Michael, Thank you for your kind comment. We're glad that it helped. Have a great day.

Saved my night! Thank you 👍
Thanks so much. That worked so well for me. So well explained.
This vid may be 6 years old but I hope you read the comments, thank you so much for this, I went from thinking my pc had blown up to simply flicking a couple of switches, once again, thanks 👍
Nice job getting it fixed!
Absolute life saver, thank you!
Thank you so much! Worked first time!
I just used this video to fix this exact problem I was having in my house. Thank you so much for your video!
It's such a common problem, I'm glad you found it helpful!
Hey mate it's the Easter bank hoilday and can't get a hold of my landlord my power has being down over a day. I just watched this video... And like magic I've got power back thank you
You’ve saved my life here mate
Thanks mate you have just saved me a fortune
👍
thanks for the useful tips!
Thanks for this advice
I had the same issue today
The only difference being that when I put the circuit breakers back up everything was restored.
I had waited all day for British Gas who never turned up .I rang them up and told them what Id done but am still getting them to check what caused the issue
Thank you very much
I had all sockets off in my flat I reset all switches and the general switch didn’t engage so I turned every socket off and switch back the general switch and then turned every socket on one by one.
it turned out that the kittle was the problem
No need for electrician or having no power in the sockets
Thanks again
Thank you. Saved my day
Great video! Very helpful :)
So helpful. Thank you so much.

Makes a lot of sense. I will definitely need an electrician even though I can't afford one for now
great aid.. thank you
Thanks, Richard.
Much appreciated 👍
Mine just went off in the middle of the night, when I try to flip the switches back up the rcd automatically goes back down. My lights are the only thing that work
Many thanks
Thank you, that helped.. gotta love the internet for this
That was really helpful
Actually telling me what to do? In a short and informative video? Holy fuck I love you
Thank you so much. Every other video was completely shite. This one was perfect.
Thank you so much!
Brilliant thank you 🙏
So the RCD switch seems to stay up if one of the red switches is down and it comes under a red socket switch I don't know what that would be for though
THANKYOU SO MUCH !
Thank YOU SO much 🤗
Thank you!
Thanks you heaps 🙌🙌
absolute lad thank you.
Thanks a lot🤝
Thank you so much.......
Thanks mate
Thank you
My elcb trips about 1 every couple of months but none of the circuit breakers flip what do you think the problem could be mate
Thank you .
sir at how many time trip one elcb
thankyou for your advice very helpul. now to see if i can get electricity back in my house :s
Thanks!
Thankyou.
WHAT IF IT'S ONE OF THE LABLED BLACK ONES? MINE WON'T TURN BACK ON WHAT DO I DO??
Great video and very informative - one thing though - we found our RCDs kept tripping off due to ants!! Couldn't believe that ants were attracted to the electrical box - unsure whether it was due to a dead bird or something but once we got rid of the ant problem - the RCDs were fine.
Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your comment! Ants is a new one, I resolved an issue caused by slugs once and another property that had tripping issues that turned out to be caused my the neighbours garden strimmer when it was used, that took a few visits to find!
All the best. Richard
Tq somuch
Legend 👍
What if the RCD flips back down even with everything else switched off? Could I need a new RCD unit?
The one affecting my one is the main power, is that bad sir?
I unplugged everything from all the power points but the RCD keep tripping off on one circuit breaker.I turned the tripping circuit breaker off for the night and the morning after all worked fine suddenly.What could it be ??
Omg ty so much
Thank you my fridge works now
RCD full form?
