How do I do an appliance test?

An appliance test will help you to identify whether a faulty appliance has caused a loss in power.

1. Turn off and unplug every electric appliance in your home – including the fridge/freezer. This will only take a few minutes so any items are unlikely to spoil.
2. Go to the fuse board and reset all the switches.
3. Then one by one, plug back in every appliance and see if this causes any of the switches on the fuse box to trip.
4. If a switch does trip, this indicates a fault with an appliance. Household appliances are the customer responsibility to replace, or repair.
