Troubleshooting
Plug does not power appliance
Check that the appliance cable is correctly wired to the plug terminals (Live, Neutral, Earth). Verify the fuse is correctly inserted and rated at 13A. Ensure the wall socket is functional.
Cable feels loose or insecure
Tighten the bolt-down cable clamp screws firmly to secure the cable. Ensure the cable's outer sheath is properly seated under the clamp.
