An RCD that won’t reset is doing its job. There is a live fault drawing earth-leakage current above 30mA. Don’t keep pushing it. Walk through the diagnostic order below first.

Stop and call us if: you smell burning, see smoke, hear arcing or buzzing, see scorching on a power point, or see any visible damage. That is not DIY. Call 1800 377 727, 24/7.

The diagnostic order, do this in sequence

1

Switch off ALL circuit breakers on the RCD

Find the RCD on your switchboard (labelled “Safety Switch” or “RCD”). Switch off every circuit breaker downstream of it.

2

Try to reset the RCD

With all circuits off, push the RCD reset lever. If it holds, good. If it still trips, the RCD itself is faulty. Call a sparky.

3

Switch circuits back on ONE AT A TIME

Flip the first breaker. Wait 5 seconds. If the RCD holds, flip the next. The breaker that causes the RCD to trip again is the faulty circuit.

4

Unplug everything on the faulty circuit

Now you know which circuit. Unplug every appliance + light fitting fed by that circuit. Reset breaker + RCD.

5

Plug appliances back ONE AT A TIME

If the RCD holds, plug appliances back individually. The one that trips it is your faulty appliance.

6

Still tripping with nothing plugged in?

It is a wiring fault, not an appliance. Stop. Call a licensed electrician. We come, we test with an insulation-resistance meter, we find it.

Frequently asked

Is it dangerous to keep resetting?
Yes. Each reset puts the fault current back through your wiring briefly. Can damage cables + equipment + start fires.
Can I bypass the RCD?
No. Illegal under AS/NZS 3000 + lethal. RCDs are mandatory on all circuits + save lives every year.
How fast can you be on-site?
Under 40 min in most Perth suburbs business hours, 60 min after-hours. Real human answers the 24/7 line.
What is the diagnostic cost?
Free during business hours when we come on a callout. After-hours emergency has a callout fee we tell you BEFORE we come out.
