Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me, I'm trying to work out which two of these three microswitch tabs to use. I have a Hotpoint Hug52 oven and the grill won't stay lit. I checked the thermocouple and it looked in a poor state so I have installed a new one. I took a photo of the wires on...

I Knew it was going to be one of those days when my first customer couldn't understand why his 9.5kw standalone oven/hob kept cutting out because it was on the old gas ignition 1mm flex & plug. I showed him the how the cable was red hot and the plug half melted but, as usual in these cases...
Hi all,
Recently had to replace one of the 25w pygmy lamps in my oven, first lamp lasted around 2 weeks before it blew, I just thought its probably a dud lamp so got a new one and put it in, however it failed after only around 3 weeks. So I've had two 25w pygmy lamps fail in 5 weeks, seems...
Hi. I got a new oven the other day and it was working fine. Last night, I swapped out the 45A wall switch for a brushed brass type one. The neon light lit up, the clock on the oven came on, job done. However, today I went to grill cheese on toast and the grill only got moderately warm. Its also...
Hello, new here!
Would greatly appreciate some input. I'll first say I intend to get an Indesit technician to take a proper look tomorrow, but I'm curious.
A couple of hours ago I tried to switch the main oven on as usual - the oven is only 2-3 yrs old - and a spark came from behind the...
My indesit ifw6340 oven packed up recently. Was working fine, turned it on and it never heated up. Tried it again the next day and and it gave me an error code F53. Turned off from mains, no error code, but still not getting to temp. Grill and fan both work fine.
I cannot find F53 error...
Hi all, I'm new on here....

Current breaker is a Proteus...
A long shot, but I thought I'd ask anyway...
A customer has a brick built, wood fired pizza oven, outdoors in their garden. And they want lighting in it, so they can see when the pizzas are done. Tricky. Has anyone got any ideas of how this might be achieved?
I presume there isn't a...
A strange small job this afternoon.
Stoves oven : another sparks had proclaimed the element was faulty and causing the RCD to trip. Householder had already purchased a new element. The original sparks has since been unwell. Slight suspicion crept in that I'd find wires dropped down the back, or...

We are renovating our kitchen, and part of the renovation involves replacing our gas oven with an induction stovetop built into the counter and a wall oven built into the cabinet below. I have added two breakers to the panel and run romex from each one to the kitchen area, creating one dedicated...
Hugely grateful for any advice. As part of our kitchen refit, we want to install an induction hob which is 32 amps. We have a 45 fused spur for oven and hob. Our oven is 14 amps. The induction hob takes us to 46 amps, 1 amp over. First electrician says we either need to rewire the kitchen to...
I have retired from Solar installs and now finally looking to do my retirement project - Daimler V8 2.5.
I needed some powder coating done but the cost for a few small items was ridiculous so I got into the DIY side.
I found myself a 3 phase commercial steam oven (FINOX) which is massive so well...
Please see the photos in reference.
After weeks/almost 2 moths of construction and prep - my contractor had finished up our pizza oven project. He let me know near the end of the process that the control panel would need to be removed in order to fit the oven in the way I desired. When he...
Our neighbours oven knob has sheered off when the builders were replacing the kitchen ceiling...
Anyway does anyone know where they can find a replacement knob? It's the one that turns the oven on and to grill etc. They can't use the oven at all.
Thanks
Hello. I have a new oven. I understand completely that I need to get it installed by an electrician and will definitely do so but for my own curiosity I would appreciate some help understanding electrical circuits and what I need. Please forgive if I don't use the right terminology here!
