Cooker hood - connection but no current

[diywarrios]

hi all,

i recently bought a flat and got a years old cooker hood in it.. which i am trying to replace..
all done but the connection inside it does not have power... tried all the switches on and stuff but still no joy..

any place where is should check .. or how to find the fault or where the connection may be ?

i have attached pics of the same.

so what voltage do you have across the brown and blue in that JB, and is that D/P switch the one for the hood?

If you have a grid switch arrangement in the kitchen with multiple switches for different appliances it could be there ?

Maybe. Or it may come from under the bathroom floor, above.?

If you can't find a switched isolator and supply source, get a spark in.

The switch is for the Owen below the gas cooker... The hood is chs60 from screwfix no normal voltage

There is no grid switch.. But the dishwasher and washing machine have the switches behind them...

Ok , well I'd suggest getting a decent electrician in to check it out.

follow dave OCD's advice. get an electrician to sort it safely. anyone can get something to work. likewise anyone can cause a fire or electrocute some poor sod.

Yes and that circular junction box is not appropriate for connecting a flexible cord.

I'm all for DIY bro but please get a spark in. It will probably take them 10 minutes to find the problem and less than an hour all in to sort it all out. You're looking at about £100 max.
