We have a Karcher SC4 steamer, it was working well until today. Now when you plug the appliance in it trips the fuse in the consumer unit. I have tried to plug it in elsewhere to make sure it was overloading, and it still does the same. I opened the device to take a look and run a continuity test on the power, the lead works fine but something strange in the appliance.
I run a continuity test from the mains into the other wires, but if I try the blue wire, I get nothing from the continuity yet if I touch the brown, I get continuity on everything I touch.
Can anyone suggest what best to look at to try and narrow down the fault.
