Decided to give my Rhino (back up machine) an airing a few days ago as I find it provides better heat than my Ninja and the carpets I was doing were fairly grotty, but found it kept tripping the circuit breaker whenever I tried to switch the heater on?........Was an empty property so was not such a big issue and the pump and vacs worked fine, but had to do the job with no heat.
Tried it when I got home and the same thing happened so had a look inside but could see no problems with mositure, loose/damaged wiring, etc.
After giving it more thought, both my house and the one where the job was are very similar in design and both modern style houses and reading back on older posts others have suggested that these normally contain sensitive electrics.
Is this the case, and probably the cause?
As I don't fancy trying it at an occupied property and have it trip theres.
Or could there be something more serious?
N.B. My Ninja works perfectly fine including heater without tripping out, but that has an element and the Rhino an inline heater. (I think!)
