Went to a callout this morning at a local Takeaway, customer reported small shocks from the microwave & then it went off.
When I got there I found that the local handyman had built them a new counter & he’d run a nice extension lead for the Microwave, looked at the extension lead & thought it was a bit thin. Turns out that he only had 2 core flex so used that hence the shocks & used a 5 amp fuse in the plug which thankfully went o/c causing dead symptom, what a muppet.Re: Idiot Handymen
Things like that are a regular occurance down here, most committed by currys own installation team, we should be able to report them to someone as this could have been deadly!
Re: Idiot Handymen
Totally agree with you mate, we should be able to report them. I tried reporting 1 to trading standards a while back, but as usual they were’nt interested. A few weeks later I had trading standards on the phone laying down the law because i’d been reported for a dodgy repair to some bints fridge freezer, they were’nt really interested in anything I had to say about the complaint so i ended up going to my solicitors & letting them sort it out. Major problem with the complaint was the fact that I don’t do refridgeration work & never have since I started in this trade.
