Title: Quick Help With my Machine *Pic*
Post by: john mathers on January 27, 2016, 12:52:39 pm

Afternoon,

 Another day another issue.

Tripped over the mains cable of my prochem steempro today, and it dragged a couple of wires out and heard a rarther loud electric shock in the machine *doh*

I think the shock was from the negative and positive wires touching of the mains cable so hopefully nothing wrong with the machine (im thinking its probably just blew a 13amp on the plug?) Or could some of the wires burnt out and need a whole new mains cable?

Anyhow, theres no indication in which order to put back in? Is the blue top or botttom? i have a sneaking suspicion top, but need to be sure.

helpfully we have different colouring schemes for the wiring.  but my black wires are to live and white to neutral.  have tried to show the label on the cylindrical thing to give a perspective.

hope it helps.

i'd give it a test but probably change the mains lead as the temperature generated by a spark will damage the insulation if that is where the short was.

It's most likely blue top then,as the colours on your are symmetrical, not criss cross of colours.  Anyone else 100% confirm?
