Strange house wiring fault

[ppppenguin]

I'm aware that it's not good practice to put a fuse in an inaccessible position. In an existing kitchen compromise may be needed. The chances of a 13A fuse blowing in the absence of a fault is very small. Can't remember the last time it happened to me. In fact it's relatively accessible as the DW slides out easily.

There was never a short in the cable. Neither RCD nor MCB tripped before or after the DW stopped working.
