Troubleshooting
No power to any socket
Ensure the main plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Check if the wall socket itself is working by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the individual switches are in the 'on' position (neon lights should be illuminated).
One or more sockets not working
Check if the specific switch for that socket is in the 'on' position and if the neon indicator is lit. Try plugging a different known working device into the problematic socket to rule out an issue with the device itself. Ensure the total load does not exceed the 13A rating.
Neon indicator light not illuminating
The neon light indicates power is supplied to the socket when the switch is 'on'. If the light is not on but the device is working, the light itself may have failed, but the socket may still function. If the device is also not working, follow the steps for 'One or more sockets not working'.
