How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not continue resetting a tripping RCD. Disconnect power and investigate.

- Repair wiring: Replace or insulate any damaged conductors using heat-resistant sleeving and proper connectors.
- Dry moisture: If moisture is present, dry the area thoroughly and identify the source (e.g., steam leaks). Replace seals if necessary.
