Troubleshooting
No power to any sockets
Check that the main plug is securely inserted into a working wall socket. Verify that the neon indicator light is on. If the indicator is off, check the fuse in the wall socket or try a different outlet.
One or more sockets not working
Ensure the device plugged into the specific socket is functioning. Check if the total power draw from all connected devices exceeds the 13A limit, which could trip an internal or main fuse. Try plugging the device into a different socket on the extension lead.
Extension lead feels warm
A slight warmth may be normal under heavy load. However, if it feels excessively hot, immediately unplug all devices and check the total power consumption. Ensure the load does not consistently exceed 13A.
