Hi I have all of electric qualification in Albania , but I have question . My customer wants to electric oven in kitchen ,. I have a switch for the light near cooker , if I disconnect the 2 way from switch can I use the extra core from 3 core to feed cooker ,.
I need to install a cooker hood. Only close supply is the cooker switch. My plan was to install a FCU next to the switch and then terminate hood, fused appropriately.
My concern was, if the cooker supply is 6mm > I think I'm going to struggle terminating 2x6mm2 cables from the supply side of...
Hi There
Just wanted to double check if I have two separate supplies to a cooker and hob which are both hard wired and fed from 2 separate RCBOs do I need to fit two cooker isolators in the new kitchen. Many Thanks
Quick query,
When installing a kitchen, is a cooker outlet plate a requirement (recommendation) or could I bring the heat resistant flex from the oven directly into the cooker control unit (45A switch with socket outlet)?

I have an electrician undertaking the wiring changes required for the installation of a new kitchen. An issue has arisen because he insists on connecting my double oven (max load 5.9kW) to one of the rings - the house has two rings (each 32amp MCB). For the last 20 years a nearly identical...
Hi new to this..go easy on me. Times just out, just want to know what your take on this is. Friends wanting to get their house tested, but I’ve noticed his cooker comes off the kitchen ring, would his test fails because of this?? Like a said I’ve just past my test so not 100% sure on this, I’m...
I am not an electrician but consider myself to be very knowledgeable in installation works. Lately however, I have come across a problem when carrying out work at my home. I have supplied my cooker circuit in 1.5mm cable as stated in the 18th edition but have since had issues with my sockets...
Eh up :)
Is it possible to cut a neat notch - say arch shaped, with the arch diameter about 25mm - in a stainless steel cooker hood chimney, without either making a mess of the chimney, or breaking/burning out tools, or both?
Special hole saw - or maybe regular holesaw used for steel - and...
Hi all,I found a 6mm “cooker” circuit feeding 4 sockets in the kitchen as a radial. R1+R2 tests fine and Zs is low. Can’t see where they are jointed but it goes from 6mm to 2.5mm. If everything tests fine, can’t see a problem leaving it as is. Will have to downsize the mcb as it’s currently on a...
Hello all, I need a new cooker, the supplier will only fit it if it's safe to do so, is it possible to tell if it's safe to fit from my photo? Many thanks
Never mind. I’ll send it back or keep it in stock....
One of those jobs this morning. Old dear, a neighbour of another customer asks if I can look at her cooker hood. Fan doesn’t run.
I had a look, fan clatters a lot, then stops. Seen it before... the plastic fins have broken off and blocking...
Hi I’m in the middle of installing a 2500kw cooker, I have an existing cooker circuit with 6mm cable on a 32Amp breaker with a spur coming of the cooker switch to a double socket which I assume fed the old cooker on a plug top!
My question is:
Can I replace the double socket with an terminal...
Hi, I am planning on getting an installation to my shed. I have what was a granny flat attached to my gable end that is no longer in use which has an unused 30A cooker socket located fairly close to where I would like some armoured cable to run out to my shed. Would an electrican be able to make...
Hi all,
Can I ask your advice?
I've removed my old cooker hood and replaces with a different model.
The wiring is different (as expected) from the previous one and just wanted to know the process before I consider calling an electrician.
In not attempting anything even slightly...

Hi,
The three 20watt 12V G11 lights on our Falcon cooker hood failed recently, first one went out then the other two. The original lamps that came with it are tungsten, I see that two of the 3 lamps look identical but have LED on them, the light coming out of it was identical to the non LED...
One of the bulbs in my Neff Cooker Hood has blown. As far as I know it is 20w. What I need to know is whether it would be 12v or 240v. The only ones I can find are 12v. I tried one but it only lasted a few weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated.
