DIY'er here...


After my fridge failed (less than 5 years old) I replaced with a new one.
The old one was hard wired in a wall socket connected to a fused spur above the fridge.

So I replaced the hard wired socket with a normal plug in one.

When I switched the electric back on, the fused spur light wouldn't come on and socket didn't work.

Any ideas what could've happened ?
Should I replace the fused spur socket also ( I already tried replacing the13amp fuse to no avail ) ?

Thanks in advance for any tips.
