After a recent visit we found this chest freezer that had a European plug on it but it was plugged into the wrong sort of adaptor which was giving no earth connection.
We tested both the adaptor and the freezer independently and they both passed but shouldn't be used together
After talking to the client we advised we could cut the current plug off and fit a BS1363 plug to it so it could be plugged directly into the wall. They decided against this as it was a new freezer and they didn't want to void any warranty it had so they were going to buy the correct adaptor we advised them on.
You always have to respect the clients equipment as it does belong to them and we don't start any repairs like this without asking in the first instance.
We also found this light switch nearby which looks like a sad face , probably because of the freezer and the adaptor nearby. We also reported this to them as well.
