Hi guys,First off - I'm no electrician.I had the an electrician come to my house about 9 months ago, and rewire a load of new sockets, plus and a new ring circuit in the loft, as well as add some extra outlets in a number of rooms.Last week, one of the new circuits that was added, a loop that serves bedroom 3 and half the kitchen, started tripping the fuse box. Once this was noted, I noticed that whenever I had any more than 2 appliance plugged in and turned on, the fuse box tripped. If I plugged in the washing machine (not turned on at the machine, but the socket switch was on ) and then tried to also use the toaster, the fuse box flipped. If i tried to plug in a multiplug which has a number of computer power wires, the fuse box tripped. Most recently, when I had nothing but the washing machine plugged in, and tried to use it, it worked for about 2 minutes, but once the machine started to pump water, the fuse tripped.I have contacted the company that originally did my electrics last year, and they have since gone into administration, so I have no recourse for them to come out and make good the fault. I have little electrical knowledge, and no doubt will get a professional in to tackle the matter, but what is this problem most likely to be.Could it be something I could investigate and realise its just a loose wire or something relatively simple to fix? via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2oxtVAs
