Default Re: Why did folk always unplug the telly at night?

Be careful Steptoesyard, I thought the same with regards to the fuse in fridge freezer plug, and fitted a 5A fuse. A brief power supply interruption (long enough for the compressor to stop rotating, but not enough for the internal working pressure to subside) and the motor start current ruptured the 5A fuse. Obviously yours may be OK with a 5A fuse in this situation , and the above duration of power drop out doesn't happen very often, but a 7A or 10A fuse might be better
