Hi, i have an out building which has two double wall sockets. I recently went out too put the heaters on a timer and cant seem to plug them into the sockets ( sockets seem to be closed) .

Does anyone know why this has happend and how can i fix it??

Its cold out there :( lol

Thanx , Kev

The sockets open via the EARTH pin..... do your timers have earth pins?

I dont really know, i just bought a pack of three timers to save on the elec bill. its not just the timers, i cant plug in any type of appliance. what would be stopping the sockets opening? i really have no idea about this stuff.

if you cant plug anything into it, the socket has collapsed inside, do not try to use it, you need it changing.

don't try to plug in more than 2 heaters absolute max on the same circuit either. i wouldn't use more than 1 but you could just push to 2 of them.

I managed to get in plugged in. Just got the 1 heater on low at 1 every 4 hours.. Cheers for you advice mate.
