Wee eletrical question.

Just moved house and changed out the cheap sockets in the kitchen, admittedly without checking. There's a fused switch that does nothing, guessing previous owner removed something.

Is there a reason why I shouldn't replace the switch with a single socket?

By deduction I know it's not powering anything, unless it switches off something upstairs

There are cables coming out of load, but I could always put them in a bit chocci block, waygo, heliocon etc to stop bare ends touching?


The run of work surfaces they are on has the microwave, toaster and DAB with only a double socket, and the only higher draw device used at rare times would be an old kenwood mixer.

Only two things on this side of the kitchen KS fridge freezer and washing machine. Washing machine has a lead running to a double13 just above the skirting on the wall and the FF is supplied by an other FCU.

It's currently off and everything appears to be working.
