This socket had been working perfectly... or so it seemed.
A washing machine had been plugged into it and used without issue, but during inspection we discovered the neutral and earth conductors had been terminated into the wrong terminals.
No tripping. No obvious signs of a fault. Just a hidden wiring defect that could have compromised the safety of the installation.
It's a reminder that electrical faults aren't always visible and things can appear to be working normally when they aren't safe.
That's why proper inspection and testing is so important.
