If your Morphy Richards toaster is causing your electrics or fuse box to trip, this is usually due to a power supply issue rather than a fault with the appliance itself.
Follow the steps below to identify the cause and resolve the issue safely.
1. Unplug the Toaster Immediately
If your electrics have tripped:
- Switch off and unplug the toaster
- Reset your fuse box only once the appliance is unplugged
Do not continue using the toaster until the issue is identified.
2. Check the Power Supply and Socket
- Plug the toaster into a different wall socket to test
- Ensure the socket is not damaged or loose
- Check if other appliances are also affecting the circuit
If multiple appliances are running at the same time, the circuit may be overloaded.
3. Avoid Overloading the Circuit
A toaster uses high power. Tripping can occur if:
- Other high-wattage appliances are used at the same time (kettle, microwave, air fryer)
- Multiple appliances are running from the same circuit
Try using the toaster on its own to test.
4. Clean the Toaster Thoroughly
Crumbs or debris inside the toaster can sometimes cause electrical issues.
- Unplug and allow the toaster to cool
- Empty the crumb tray
- Gently clean out any loose debris
5. Check for Signs of Damage
Stop using the toaster if you notice:
- Damage to the plug or cable
- Burning smell or scorch marks
- Repeated tripping immediately on plug-in
6. Still Tripping the Electrics?

7. Safety Tip
Toasters should always be used:
- Directly in a wall socket (no extension leads)
- On a stable, dry surface
- With regular crumb tray cleaning
