Hello,
DIY enthusiast, but no real skills! Our fan oven stopped heating so I thought I would replace the heater element. When I have taken it apart, it looks as if part of the wiring may have come off. There is a clip on the right hand side with no wire coming from it. Will this be the issue...
Disconnected a cooker ready for a kitchen to be removed, and found this.
Freestanding cooker with 4 rings, oven and grill.. rated 11.3kW, supplied by what looks like 1.5mm flex.
I know take diversity for cooking appliances, but 1.5 is pushing it a bit.
Just wondered if this was original to the...
I've been trying to locate anything in the regs that say this can't be done, but can't see anything.
Basically I have a 3kw oven on a 4mm T&E cable going to a 32A MCB (Cable is clipped direct in loft to consumer board, and not covered by anything en-route - property is a bungalow). The isolator...

Hi,
We have an old cooker on the mains with a cooker mains red switch with a normal plug next to it.
The red switch is in the off position as is the plug switch.
Whenever I reset the RCD for the cooker ring in the fuse box, the entire RCD trips again - even if the cooker's red switch on the...
Hi There,
I've just discovered that my rangemaster dual fuel cooker is plugged into a socket under my kitchen unit with a 13amp plug.
I've not had a problem with it until today. The cooker was installed when I purchased the house back in 2014.
Today I was using both the grill and cooker as I...
The customer has asked for a cooker hood with some kind of heat exchange. I'm not entirely sure what he wants, but I'm guessing it's a cooker hood which reuses the hot air, i.e an MVHR. This is the only one I can find though and it's ridiculously expensive Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood...
Hi
we are about to re do our kitchen and am looking for information on the hard wireing for the built in cooker as we want to move it! Can I buy new cable and lengthen the cable from the cooker to the wireing point and have the cable running around behind the cabinets? If not how much would it...
Hi All
I had some new wiring put in professionally and I asked to wire ready for a cooker. He has left me a cable from the floor where I said it was going but no switch. When I went to buy a cooker with install included it said on the website they would only install it if there was a cooker...

Not getting a continuity reading on the cooker circuit. I'm doing I.r. test and its low between l. N. Any ideas what the issue could be.
The cooker sockets is working also.
I'm interested in powering my hi-fi system from a radial circuit in order to isolate it from other electrical devices and so improve sound quality. Unfortunately installing a new circuit is not feasible due to the age and construction of the property.
What I'm thinking of doing is running 6mm...
Hi all this is my first post. I am renewing my kitchen and at the moment I have a large cooker I'm changing it to a single oven. At the moment the cooker is on its own dedicated circuit with a 32mcb and 6mm cable going to a 45a cooker switch then going to a 45a cooker outlet plate which the...

Having started looking at...
