Not quite sure where to post this so please feel free to move @mods.
Anyway, I bought a new toaster in February. Not majorly expensive but this morning it tripped the electrics. What?
It was only on the way to a kitchen project that I figured it out.
A few years ago I upgraded my consumer unit to include an RCD for downstairs sockets. Larger lumps of bread etc. will trip an RCD. There was such a lump jammed between the element and the grid.
So, clean out your toaster regularly just in case!
