Hi Guys & Gals
Iv'e done a bit of work in a kitchen, extending sockets, adding FCUS etc. I went down there the other day to speak with the kitchen fitter and show him where I wanted him to bring my cable through the back of the units (cooker switch, FCU for built in appliances). Anyway, he was happy to do it but then mentioned that he might not be able to fit the fridge as the plug it comes with, will stick out to far and it won't go fully back. He then said the same thing about dishwasher! The only thing I could think of that made sense, was to change the 1G sockets to FCU's.
Anyway, my rant is basically at the appliance manufacturers. Why do they not leave enough space at the back of the appliance for it to be plugged it? How do they think it will work?
Has anyone else had this sort of problem? I haven't done a kitchen for a few years and never had a problem before.
