4 gang wall socket question.

[Dave7]

Situation is.......
As per title I have a 4 gang wall socket in the kitchen......its perhaps 18 months old and properly installed ie nit a DIY job.
It has a small light to tell me its live.
So......this morning I plugged the kettle in and switched on.......nothing (i assumed the kettle had conked). I tried it in another of the 4 ports (dont know the correct word) and it worked fine.
Q. Is it possible for just 1 of the port/sockets to fail ?
Q. If just 1 has failed can it be fixed ?
Its not the end of the world as I never have more the 2 things plugged in but I would like to know.
Thanks.

Im NO ELECTRICIAN
I have a 3 port in garage and each port has its own fuse ....
If the fuse has blew that be why

Cannot comment how/why the kettle may have blew one fuse but not the others
I think appliances will cause more issues than the wiring

Interesting post though
Good luck

1. Yes.
2. Probably not if it's how I'm envisioning it. However, its probably not expensive to replace the entire unit.
3. It's worth checking fuses and the like.
