Electrical socket not working

Hi Folks,

The elctrical socket in my hot press isn't working. All other sockets are. Is there something easy I can check to solve the problem?

The socket is for the switch for central heating/hot water.

We got great advice here for connecting up the additional phone sockets, so I'm hoping this will be just as easy!

Cheers,
Stuart.

Can't give you an answer but I know my hot press has an isolated trip switch, so the fact that all other sockets are working doesn't mean there isn't a problem within the hotpress itself, if you know what I mean.

Is it a socket or a switch? Don't think I've ever seen a socket in a hot press but maybe I'm out of touch.

Some switch boxes contain a fuse, which can be accessed from the front of the box. If this is the case, perhaps it needs replacement?

Thanks for the replies. It's a socket with a switch but no front-accessible fuse. Perhaps it was never connected up to the fuse box or something.

Thats your best bet as there could be several reasons for it not working.
