Fuses keep tripping and blowing

    The last 3 days I've had to replace 2 fuses - one lamp 3A, one washing machine 13A, and the fridge tripped a switch in the fuse box. All separate incidents. All different plug outlets. It doesn't seem like a coincidence. Is there a surge problem in my building or do i need to get my fuse box looked at? Any idea what could be going on? Thanks

    Your fuses shouldn’t blow for no reason. Might be worth getting your electrics checked.

    The 3amps can go easy enough if you had an incandescent bulb blow for example

    Fridge might be an RCD trip ?

    Washing machine , check the plug isn't heating up anyhow

    Could be a few random issues happened at the same time

    As above anyhow get the wiring checked if there's a concern
