How do you repair an RCD ? I do I fix my plugs ? RCD keeps tripping how can I fix it ? An RCD usually trips / keeps going to the down position because of something that has been plugged in .

Reset the RCD , if it still trips then call an emergency electrician . If the RCD stays " up " then switch off , plug the appliances in one by one turning the power off each time . If it trips again (use a radio or tv to listen) then you can eliminate the faulty appliance . Do not use this appliance again and have it checked by the manufacturer or a appliance electrician .
