Troubleshooting
Socket not providing power
Verify that the main power supply to the circuit is on. Check the connections to the socket and ensure they are secure. Confirm that the circuit breaker for this circuit is in the 'on' position.
Loose plug connection
Ensure you are using a compatible Type E plug. Check if the plug itself is damaged or worn. The socket is designed for a secure fit; a very loose connection might indicate wear on the plug rather than the socket.
Socket appears damaged
