Hi Marvo, thanks for your response. The customer (different one to the fridge prob) bought a 3kw fero resonant for 65 USD. I'm trying to decide if I should wire his 20 amp connection to it, or just the points circuits. It is Vietnamese so I don't think the winding's wire is of high quality...

Oh yes, almost forgot to mention that I still haven't got a scooby about why the old fridge was acting so weird. Marvo I think it could be a broken klixon? what do you think? Cheers John

Hi Guys, problem solved. New, new fridge. You got to love the Asian culture! She bought a new fridge 275 US  bucks. The transom between fridge and freezer was getting far too hot. Fan was broken from new. Shop wouldn't replace it the next day because, get this, they said it was second hand! I...

Well, the drama continues... They bought a new LG waited 24hrs then plugged it in. They noticed it was getting so hot on the transom between the freezer and fridge they unplugged it. I was there when they did this and it was, I think, too hot. Couldn't keep my fingers on it for long. I guessed...

Hi, well I checked the voltage at the supply in, its reading is the same as on the points circuit when the fridge is on. So at least I don't need to spend all that time checking my connections. Thanks for the low down and images Marvo, unfortunately I'm not authorized to view them , yet? 20...

Hi , I wish I had my Mega here. It would be good to use on this job, but fairly useless for circuits I haven't installed. Ever seen a consumer unit with only live wires?!! They joined all the neutrals (wired in red 6 mm singles for a 20 amp mains !) in the roof space. By joined I mean twisted...

Sorry , no earthing out here. I asked the customer if they required earthing but I think because everyone else hasn't got it she refused the extra expense. What to do! 

Hi sorry but I just noticed that my post had been allowed.  Cambodia is the country. I checked the voltage it's 229 at the fridge (point). When the shower is running at 3 kw It drops  12 v  to 217 -  at 2 kw it drops 7 v This is from memory from a few days ago. Interestingly, the noise was...

Hi, I am living in a country that has 220/240v ac supply. I am an electrician (UK trained) and just rewired a house . I have a weird problem. When I turn the electric shower on the fridge(on a separate circuit) Starts working overtime and makes a kind of loud 'compressor working overtime' hum...
