Turn it off at the switchboard if you can do it safely, keep clear, and call 0400 232 172, including after hours. We made one Jesmond range hood safe on an emergency call.
It can be a burning connection or something inside the wall. At one Jesmond home the outlet was cracked and what looked like pests were in the wall cavity. Stop using it and call us.
Yes. At a Jesmond rental we moved the lighting circuit off an old fuse onto a safety switch (RCBO) while replacing the kitchen light.
