I've got a cooker hood extractor, it only has a live and neutral cable, I've only got a single socket to install it. Can I put a 13A plug on the end of it?
Right this maybe a completely stupid idea....but, guy wants a 6kw pre built sauna in back garden. The fuseboard million miles to back of house so wiring new circuit would be a nightmare. But he does have a cooker supply right near back door of garden. I know it's deemed good practice to have...
Hello all
Here's a picture of a newly installed cooker isolation switch.
As you can see it is located under a worktop. You are looking at it with the two
fridge that is normally located under the worktop in that location removed.
I would appreciate your opinions on the location of the switch...
Hi,
I’m replacing the cabinets in my kitchen and noticed a wiring issue I’d like a professional opinion on. The cable for the electric cooker comes out of the wall behind a cabinet on one side of the kitchen with no isolating switch. The cable then runs around the edge of the kitchen wall, just...
We have had a new cooker hood delivered, we needed to unbox it and get it hung to free up space.
The new hood is a different design to the old one, and when mounted at the min. height above the hob, it covers the existing supply socket (hidden behind the hood's chimney).
So, the supply socket...
Hi folks, not sure if I have posted in the right place, but I'm looking for some advice on installing an electric cooker.
I intend to replace my old free-standing electric cooker with a new one. I went to a department store who do the delivery and install. The person asked me a few...

went to cook tea tonight and our cooker wouldn’t turn on, I know it’s not the cooker as the hob doesn’t work. There is also 2 separate red switches for each. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Also tried to flick the switch on the fuse and left it turned off for 30 minutes still...
Hi all,
I have just been to a job where the existing hob is wired in using 2.5mm heat resistant cable, the hob is rated at 6000w. I calculate this to need a 4mm cable, however, was challenged by someone, in the end I called NICEIC who stayed neutral and said it "might be ok, what do the...
Curing the floorboard in room and the cooker cable that runs through a notch in the joist was cut. Through the grey cable and the tips of the brown and blue wires. Just enough to see the copper core.
whats best to do in this situation as obviously I don’t want to replace the whole cable
Hi I have just bought a new cooker and it has a cable and plug on it but my old one doesn't. Can I put a socket on the existing cable (6mm I think) and then just plug it in.
As it says really. When testing LE or NE resistance > 300M ohms but between L and N I was getting a reading of about 0.2M ohms. Could it be the BG cooker switch that has two neon lights that is the problem?
If it is, after shoving 500V dc through them, should I replace this erstwhile brand new...
Good afternoon,
Hoping somebody can help me out with this.
I ordered a Best Visso cooker hood, imported form Italy, long story but it was basically to replace the same model which I can't get hold of now in the UK.
It came supplied with a moulded two pin European plug top. After a bit of...

Spec for cooker is 2.4KW but has 13 amp plug fitted. So from that i read it as this cannot be connected up to 6mm connection point and has...
I don't think I've ever come across a cooker that needs 10mm but I may err on the side of caution with this one.
Rangemaster Leckford deluxe 110cm induction range cooker.
14.8kW, states required a 45A supply.
No info on cable size.
With diversity a 6mm will be ok. Plus ref method C gives a ccc...
currently doing a re wire waiting for the kitchen spec. Customer has planned for a halogen hob in an island which will get its own supply however he’s also after 2 single ovens stacked on top of each other on the opposite side of the room. It’s likely that both ovens will be on together so I...
