Hi guys

I have a problem. My lights keep flickering and my (hotpoint) dishwasher keeps beeping randomly. Its happens every now and again but especially when an oven ring is turned on or something like that. Last night i was woken up with a buzzing/clicking noise coming from the RCD. I only noticed this morning that there is a 50A fuse in the consumer unit (it says there should be a 63A in it, could that be the problem? I would be really grateful for suggestion. As a matter of interest how much would it cost to replace the consumer unit with a new one, as the one we have is about 15 years old

thanks
freddie
 
Sounds to me like you should get a sparks on the job ASAP - this could be a fire or electrocution hazard!
 
Sounds like a loose connection in the CU or incoming supply is not up the scratch. The 50 fuse, assuming it is the main fuse, it not a problem (Providing it is the correct physical size) . You should get an electrician to check the CU. At 15 years there should be no need to replace the unit.
