Mend Electrical Socket Fuse

Double socket that has just gone dead?

I have a double socket in the kitchen that has just gone dead (no power) with both switches stuck on the on position (too stiff to put off). Not sure what to check first. Is this likely to be as simple as needing a new fuse?

Have had limited success spraying the back with WD40 to allow the switches to operate-NOT recommended
If other sockets are working then it's not a fuse. Replace socket, all new sockets should be a direct fit
Try Screwfix-Toolstation-B&Q

No - it may be as simple as needing a new socket - given that you need to ask - an electrician may be your best approach.

Good luck...
