Hi can anyone help me with my query?
I bought an Earlex wallpaper steamer last Sunday (17th June 2007)
I was using it yesterday and after about an hour of use it tripped out all the downstairs sockets, the mains cable for the unit was extremely hot, and when I removed the plug from the socket I nearly burnt my hand on the pins they were so hot. Obviously these things are intended to produce heat but on this scale? My home was rewired completely just 2 weeks ago and was carried out by pro/Napit regd. electricians. Has anyone had similar problems, if it is a problem, or is this just normal?
Should I call back the electricians or take the steamer back to my local hardware store, or do I have some sort of thermal trip in my fuse board?
Any help or advice anyone can offer will be very gratefully appreciated indeed. Many thanks,
Matt.
