either clogged up or has a short in wiring.

If the fault is a live to neutral one, the RCD won't operate anyway, the fuse will blow.
Check the inside of the plug itself, and then if that's OK, work your way along the cable, checking for any damage, if you find a small cut and it's not too far from the plug itself, then you could cut the cable at the point and re-fit the plug. The cable will end up a bit shorter but there's always an extension lead! If all seems OK then either have the unit looked at professionally or dump it and buy a new one. As someone has already said, it's not worth risking your life for.

quick question
how many fuses have you been through?
Mr Handy Andy June 2008 |
Because there is an electrical fault with the unit. It isn't possible to go further without looking at it. BTW from a safety point of view if the fuse is blowing it sounds like you may not be using an RCD. This is incredibly dangerous. My advice: take the unit to someone who knows what they are doing - it is your life that is at stake. (And get an RCD.)
