Hi. I have a rental property where the cooker trips the electrics. Initially I had the cooker elements replaced. It still tripped. I replaced the cooker with new. An electrician has test the wiring and says it is safe. He replaced the circuit breaker with a 40a. It still trips. He doesn't know...
I have a cooker switch which isn’t connected to a socket. The socket behind the cooker doesn’t have a switch so assumed it’s connected to the cooker switch but it doesn’t switch the cooker off. I checked the circuit breakers and the switch is connected to the “cooker” breaker but the socket...
The oven cooling fan in a Smeg A4-5 cooker needs attention/replacement – the bearings are noisy.
Does anyone know whether the whole cooker has to be removed to access the fan?
Also, I know the fan is a left-hand motor. Does anyone know its length?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Hi guys n gals.
I don't often do appliances but been looking at a range cooker of a regular customer (gas hobs, 3x electirc ovens).
It keeps blowing the 32A MCB with a flash at the back of the range (unable to position myself behind to see where from but suspect it's around the incoming...
Hi All,
I am a little confused, probably something I am missing.....
I have just wired in a 7.4kw Neff V57THQ4L0 N70 Vented Hob. I ran a supply of 6mm from the board for the hob. My confusion is why the manufacture has provided a 1.5mm cable for me to wire this into the cooker connection unit...
Cooker heating element became misshaped. Tried to bend into shape and broke. Removed element and replaced. On switching the cooker off on occasion it trips the fuse. There was no issue prior. Could anybody advise why this is happening. Thank you
I have a Bosch DKE995EGB cooker hood that has stopped working completely - no lights or fan. I've confirmed power to the control module and checked the motor.
Any pointers/ideas - or url's to other appropriate forums?
Hello All. I'm quite new to this game and gaining experience, but going well in the main.
My customer wants to feed a Hob ( on island in centre of kitchen ) and have the Oven separate on a wall unit. I'm running 10mm to give some headroom as induction hob involved, plus kettle and oven on same...
A house we have just re-wired has one of these cooker points,
Trouble is the kitchen wasn't supposed to have been touched by any trade but the wiring was that bad we've had no choice but to renew it all however the cooker switch is in the tiling as opposed to over it so it will leave a hole...
The electrician that installed my cooker circuit put in 10mm cable with a 32a fuse, a 45a cooker switch and 10mm cable to the backplate for behind the cooker. He put this size in as I didn't know what size cooker I was going to be getting.
I ended up getting a 7.4kw range cooker and the...
Hi, can someone please advise on where if anywhere I may acquire an adapter to duct out this old Elica cooker hood. The hole is 150mm x 90mm and I can’t imagine a way of ducting out without an adapter of some sort. Does this item exist or would it just originally have come with the cooker and no...
I have had my kitchen rewired ready for a new kitchen. I was originally going to have a gas cooker so a 3 pin 13a socket was left on the end of the 6mm t+e cable. I have changed my mind and now am going to have a freestanding electric cooker. To check if i now have sufficient cable, i have...
Good Evening. I’m currently carrying out an EICR. I have a cooker circuit radial with a 32amp mcb fed from and RCD split board. There is a 45amp double pole switch fitted with a single socket on the plate. Fed in 6mm T+E.
Then there is a 2.5mm T+E off the load side of the cooker switch down to...
Just wondering what everyone’s view on this is, if you’re mourning cooker or hob switch in cupboard close by. Would you still terminate into an outlet then go from there to cooker or hob? Or would you take the cable straight into the appliance
I'll start by saying - I have absolutely no intention of doing any wiring or anything electrical myself. You get someone professional to do a professional job - I know that. I just want to understand what I should consider so that I don't end up having to rip out or rework stuff afterwards.
The...
We have a room in the house that was the kitchen. That has been relocated to a different area, so the old kitchen has been sold off and the room will be a bathroom. I’ve studded out the room and lined with cementitious board ready for tiling. All first fix plumbing is done. All sockets are...
Hi all,
I'm about to replace our kitchen and one of the upgrades is to install two full size ovens to replace the original twin over under counter unit.
The existing 45a cooker switch is in the right place but no convenient space for a second... Is there a reason I can't or should not connect...
Hi All,
We have an old Country villa in Spain. The housing electrics were not good so the house recently has been completely re-wired to a good standard.
Due to some miscommunication with the electrician however, he forgot to create a separate circuit for the electric cooker.
Looking at the...
Hi,
Just been scratching my head about this one and wonder if I've missed anything.
A few weeks ago I installed a new circuit for a 3kw oven and a 950W microwave. Ran the circuit in 6mm T&E clipped direct on a 40A RCBO.
Customer has reported that on maybe three or four occasions the RCBO...
