    Failed Neff/Bosch cooker hob ignition switch unit

    The photo shows a cooker hob ignition switch unit from a Neff/Bosch hob. One of the switches has failed. The issue was caused I think by ingress of liquid. I have dried the unit as well as I can. A replacement unit costs over £40. Has anyone ever opened one of these to repair it? I am reluctant...

    Cable for connecting induction hob

    The manufacturers instructions for an induction hob I will be fitting in the new year are telling me to use either H03V2V2-F or H05BB-F (basically 90degree PVC or rubber flex) for the connection. These are difficult to get hold of in the couple of meters of 4mm that I need, and I'm...

    Hob wiring question

    Replacing my hob and found this. Hob (6.4kW) installed on a dedicated 32A circuit, wired with 6mm TE. Five terminals on the hob, two lives and two neutrals have each been bridged with 1.5mm wire. TE cable is wired to one of the lives and one of the neutrals. Is this correct? Thank you

    Hi, I'm a DIY'er but not a DIY electrician. I have a 3.5kW oven (15A min. 20A max. fuse) and want to connect a separate 7.4kW hob on the same 40A kitchen circuit.

    EICR weird Hob install - wrong and safe, or wrong and run away screaming?

    Second post on an EICR I did today (always a good sign!) 70s flat with earthed conduit and singles. 6mm runs from the CU to presumably where an old cooker switch was - at some point that was tiled over somehow and is now inaccessible - what emerges below the worktop is 2 x 2.5 Twin and Earth -...

    Hob with 475mm depth cutout

    Anyone know a decent online retailer that actually lists their hobs by recess dimensions (or even lists them at all in some cases?) Side rant - why do a lot of appliance websites tell you all the information except the bits an installer might actually want to know, like recess dimensions or...

    Oven and hob on same MCB and diversity.

    I've just spent an hour getting bogged down with the maths trying to work out diversity for 2 cooking appliances on the same circuit (32A MCB) and same isolation switch, I thought I would give my workings so others can use it as I wonder if some just assume you can still use the 15kW maximum...

    Can i hardwire a plug and play AEG induction hob?

    We've recently brought a new build house and it's come with an AEG induction hob. We quickly realised there wasn't enough power to heat more than 2 pans at once.

    Good afternoon. I'm fitting a new kitchen with a new hob and oven. I hope to use just 1 isolation switch for both appliances. Together the wattage size is almost 11kW. Do I need 10mm cable with a 50A MCB? Is that right? Thanks.
