Buzzing noise from fuse box and flickering lights

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.44 PM

I was useing the microwave in kitchen when I noticed the lights were flickering so I switched the microwave off but the flickering remained. Now the microwave has stopped working (won't switch on). I've checked the socket and it is working fine when the kettle is plugged in. When I went to check the fuse box (old style with fuse wire) I could hear buzzing/crackling noise coming from it, I switched the lights off and the buzzing has stopped (fuse box is in the kitchen) what could the problem be? Is it the fuse box or the wiring? If I were to have the fuse box replaced with a modern one would I need to have the whole house rewired ? any help/advise appreciated, Thanks Thanks for the reply
