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...
Hi, I've recently had my broken oven replaced in my flat and I paid for delivery and installation.
It was hardwired through an unswitched plate which leads to a fused spur with switch on the wall of the kitchen.
Everything seemed fine until I idly glanced through the installation manual. It...
The customer has suggested from a previous electrician that the oven requires a new circuit installed . Upon viewing the instructions it is stated that the total power consumption is 5kw and cable size should be 2.5mm .
The customer has a kitchen ring main with a previous fuse spur for a cooker...

Hi, I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me here. Below, I've pasted a sketch showing how my oven is currently wired up, followed by 3 potential solutions, but of course I'd be more than happy to see alternative propositions. But let me...
I have an electric oven - now many years old.
I have replaced the main circular 2.5kW oven element (ELEHY6708) several times over the years.
Another failure happened just a couple of days ago.
Soon after switching on, I noticed an unusual crackling noise from the oven.
When I opened the oven...

Hi, I bought my Zanussi ZCV663MWC cooker ten years ago, I replaced the top element four months ago and its been fine until now. When I turn the top oven on it heats up then after ten minutes it trips the mains. Also I have never used the bottom oven but when I turned it on it also tripped the...
Good evening,
I am new to the forum, and I am after some advice
I am looking at buying my son a new oven, but have just noticed that the one I intended buying is a 16 amp oven.
I believe his current oven is a hardwired 13 amp version with its own fuse on the fuse board.
I am thinking of buying...
My Neff oven is approx 10 years old and has worked normally,until about a few months ago when it has started to trip on RCD when at high temperature…190 deg+.The oven is used regularly….does the thermostat need replacing, or heating elements or a new oven or RCD which has become too sensitive...
Hi all,
I replaced my old Electrolux oven which operated with a 13 amp plug.
The new Kenwood oven I ordered says a 16 amp (Requires hardwiring to a dedicated circuit) is required (see pictures below). Is it not possible if I just buy a 13 amp plug and do the wiring in the terminal box at the...
I am replacing my under counter oven with a new 3kw one, oven is on its own circuit and isolation oven switch, the cable is either 4 or 6mm coming through wall where I need to join. The oven came with flex but no plug, which type of connector block should I use to join the two?
Similarly, have...
An electrician has recently quoted to replace our old oven. He says that the new oven has different power requirements and he needs to replace the consumer unit to make this lower and avoid burning out our new oven within weeks! The cu was new in 2015 so I am concerned that it now needs...
Hello. The built-in oven is not getting hot. I took a look inside and see just one heating element which is at the top. It's a three-pronged one. Is that the only element for both grill and oven? I don't see anything else in the interior of the oven by way of electrical parts. The light works...
I have a double oven connection unit. Fed with 4mm cable,40 amp MCB. Hob connected to it with 4mm cable. Bought new oven,stated 16 amp but with 1.5 flex from the oven. (manufacturer) I'm trying to argue that this needs a fused spur before connecting to double oven connection unit as 40 amp MCB...

Hi
Our oven stopped working suddenly including the clock. It was on the fan oven setting at about 150 degrees. I checked the fuse board - it had not tripped. A little bit later when I used one of the gas hobs (the gas hobs have an automatic igniter) the oven came back to life ie clock came back...
Hi I need advice. I am about to buy a new oven. I am moving into a new home. The original owner removed their 90cm flush range oven when they moved out.
I didn't think anything about this until PC World told me that their engineers will not install an oven unless there is a 10mm space between...
Hi there
My old oven broke just in time for xmas😭😭😭 (murphys law)
Ive picked up a new one which is rated at 16amp.
The old oven came off an independent circuit. 20amp breaker with 6mm from board to isolator and 6mm to rear of oven.
Is this just a case of just hardwiring it in or is it a bigger...
Hi all
Some advice on this would be great.
Due to wire a kitchen from scratch and in a pickle over the designing of the oven and hob circuits due to having to carry out first fix before appliances are agreed on due to time restraints.
My original thought was to run a 6mm cable on a 32amp...
