Hey Mark,
I agree, we have to start at the basics. My motto is 'Making the complex, Simple'
I have been in the automotive industry for 33 years and yet I still see technicians 'throw parts at it' in the hope of a repair. I must say, it frustrates me, when simple, logical diagnosis can make the repair quicker, cheaper and more satisfying for the tech!

I like this article, especially on how you calculate on minimum and maximum power ratings the device can take. At times, we often do forget some basic principles like this when doing fault-finding. Logic thinking as this one can really help you fix some complex problems. Thanks again for sharing.
Regards,
Mark T.

Thanks Mark. Of course I already saw your video since I'm subscribed to your YouTube channel. You know the old saying, "When mamma is not happy, nobody is happy".

My wife was home at the time, but she stated that it was the 10A circuit breaker. We have a separate ELCB for the circuit board.
Cheers
Thanks for your comments on the video as well.

Hi Mark, I love the video, well done, you are a good teacher and great presenter.

Just as a matter of curiosity, was it the Circuit Breaker (10A) or the ELCB part of it that made the CB tripping? Because a 10A short circuit is a big bang, while the ELCB trips silently with only 30mA of leakage current.

Cheers,
GM

Mark,

Nice article, point 1. Is very pertinent I think we have all been caught out by this at one time or other.

I believe that it is more energy efficient to use a toaster rather than an electric grill? although I understand the point about hygiene.

Mark,
Regular maintenance of any device will help the device to revive.
Thanks for sharing.
