hello all,
btw I'm a plumber.... do I hear groans?! I installed a new Neff oven, DB is 0.5m away through a wall, wired into spare 16A MCB (house was built 2019) with 2.5mm T&E via 20A switched outlet, manufacturers lead with moulded plug (wired into outlet - not shortened).
... plug lead into...
Hi all. Hope you are well.
So my dad has just bought a new induction oven. He already has an electric oven under it which appears that it is hardwired from 6mm T&E that literally just comes out of the wall 🤦🏻♂️
the new induction hob has 5 wires (which obviously has doubled up lives and...
Hi All,
I am new here.
I searched the forum regarding this issue and most professional advice was that the heating element should be at fault.
I am a DIY person and I would not have a problem replacing it myself, only that a new heating element costs £45 on Zanussi.co.uk and I would not want...
Been having a discussion with my electrician on the best way to wire up a new oven and a combi oven/microwave and would appreciate some more input.
There is an existing cooker connection in 10mm t&e with a 32a MCB (and RCD protection).
The oven is 3.49kw and the combi is 3kw. Oven doesn't have...
Hi, Can 2 double ovens both 6.3kw (12.6kw combined) go onto an existing circuit which is 10mm2 t&e, 45a DP switch, 10m length into a 32a MCB at CU?
Haven’t employed an electrician yet to be able to calculate and want to buy the 2 ovens with our new kitchen on the finance. Really hoping one of...
After a few minutes the knob gets too hot to holfd<60c
The connections on the switch body stay cool.
The grill works fine.
Should I replace the switch asap/sometime?
The oven locked itself and the door so I had to turn off the power and can now open it again. Only thing is the oven is no longer heating up at all. I’m seeing an “F53 error” code is flashing up with a symbol of a key. I have looked at the troubleshooting section of the manual and it says...
Hello everyone,
I've got a new oven and have a question about installing it.
It's a 2.6kW 13A oven, and a cable from the 32A cooker circuit to connect to it. Can I simply connect the cable to the cooker, or do I need to do via a 13A plug and socket. If not, why is there no need for a fuse...

Hi,
as the title says, I need to change the upper heating element on my HE10AB220/C oven. I've never done that and it seems pretty easy, as in cutting off current on the breaker panel, pulling out the old element end replacing it with the new, but I have two questions:
I can't find a...
Hi,
I'm installing a Hoover oven and would like a little help please. The oven code is HOC3158IN.
The oven manual states "The power cable must be H05V2V2-F."Also "The plug and the socket
must conform to the current norms of the installation country."
The label on the side of the oven...

Over the past year the oven has been tripping the supplying RCBO unit.
I have replaces the rear fan forced element and thermostat but the unit continues to trip rcbo.
Does anyone have any other ideas on shot might cause the...
I purchased a new-build apartment 10 years ago, which came with a fitted oven and microwave. Both appliances are described by the manufacturer (AEG) as hard wired. I recently purchased a new hard wired microwave, but the installer discovered that there was only a socket behind the microwave. He...
Hi,
My current oven is hardwired to a fused connection plate with a 13Amp fuse inside and power switch. That is then connected to the MCB labelled kitchen. The MCB switch labelled cooker is actually connected to the hob. Could I cut the hardwired cable and connect an unfused plug socket, which...
My Lamona oven has broke so I’m replacing it with a new one. Does it matter that the new one I’m wanting to get is 2.8kw compared to the current one at 2.4kw?
Is it still safe to have or do I have to get one at the same power or lower?
Hi All,
Thank you for your previous advice - it resulted in us replacing our precious Smeg range with a Hotpoint; however we now have a new issue that I was hoping you might be able to advise on:
The oven works nicely and the heat seems good etc. But it makes a pulsing noise when you're using...
I have just replaced my old double oven which was about 10 years old with a new model as whenever I used the top oven it tripped the electrics. However the new one is doing exactly the same. Bottom oven works perfectly as did the old one, so question I have, is the oven faulty and it’s a...
Hi all
We are hoping to upgrade our oven.
We currently have a single integrated oven and a separate induction hob. Each has its own red switch on the kitchen wall.
The consumer unit has 2 "cooker" parts both labelled as B32.
We are hoping to get a larger freestanding electric range style...
I am getting ready to install a new wall oven that's about 4 ft closer to the panel than the old stove. I have about 4 ft extra cable with the new wall oven location. For code do I need to install a metal box on the wall behind the new oven location or can I run the cable that's coming out of...
