UK Gas Cooker conked and electrical cooker replacement

[advicewelcom]

Hi, quick posting - welcome any advice as new to this stuff...

Have a Howden HJA 0150 gas grill/oven with a broken thermostat that and can't get a replacement (grill igniting but no gas coming out of oven burners when on).

The Howden grill/oven is on a ring in the kitchen which has following appliances on it:
-microwave
-fridge freezer
-kettle
-toaster
-a Howden gas hob
-the busted Howden grill/oven
-couple of kitchen sockets generally not used

It all goes back to a RCD with a fuse that says - MTN132 b32 hanger fuse

There is an electrical wall connection for the grill/oven, with (I think) a 6mm wire for the ring (and not the thicker 10mm wires used for showers).


I may want to replace with just an electrical gill/oven. So some questions...

-Is there is max kilowatt oven that I could just wire into the current wall socket (which is used for the current grill/oven electrical ignition connection)?

-Would I need to replace the fuse in the RCD for the main? And is so with what?

-Would these things ensure the fuse would not trip if the oven was switched on?

-There are lots of electrical ovens but the instructions say they should be wired directly to the fuse box, so wondering if there is one which can just run from this ring main (if I upgrade the fuse)?


Would hate to buy an electrical oven and then its a nightmare and expense to fit it (the fuse box is currently full).

Welcome advice.

Even though the cadent operation manual allows minor drops (with no smell of gas) there is a hypocritical philosophy of "not on my gas card" by the engineers. As long as some other independent gas engineer switches on the gas - its all okay. The driver is personal job protection - not household welfare - irrespective of the disruption.

Anyways, am grateful for the advise about the oven electrics from the group, I don't think I would have got the same level of independent advise or analysis rigour that was provided here.

Hey all, its Kalamity Ken here again.

Guess what? The oven blew the fuse in its FCU, in the FCU on the kitchen ring and tripped out the RCD



Returning after a couple of days away discovered the RCD and Kitchen circuit switch had tripped.

Could flick the Kitchen circuit back on and the RCD. Microwave, fridge, kettle, etc, sockets back up okay. But no Hob and Oven


== Switched FCU to Hob & Oven === Kettle & Toaster Socket === Microwave Socket == Fridge etc...

Replaced the 13A fuse in the "Switched FCU to Hob and Oven" - and Hob was back up but not oven.

Replaced the 13A fuse in the "Oven Switched FCU", switched on. and Bang(!) circuit down again.

Can I assume a wiring short in Oven Switched FCU, or Oven connection or something dodge in Oven?

Which part of "get an electrician" multiple times in previous posts did you not understand.

I give up.

But not before 25 characters.
