have had a range oven installed by electricians from kitchen fitting company and has been wired in 10mm SWA externally and then 16mm to cooler. Is this a massive case of over doing it?? Cable is obviously too big for cooker terminals and been crimped at the outlet!! Anyway, pulled oven out today and there was a small bang and a puff of smoke! Have looked at cooker terminals and as the size of the 16mm is far too big the live has come loose and touched the oven housing, now the oven only works on two rings and the rest doesn’t work at all, cooked electronic circuits I suspect. Thoughts anyone as to who’s to blame???
 
I'd love to know where the disagree came from myself, it seems like basic common sense to me
I have just read the "disagree" on this post,and are bursting to hear the logic,of removing an appliance,for the first time,and not isolating the supply.

I can only think of two possible scenarios...and one of them,is where the person removing it,is entirely made of paxolin...
 
Whats wrong with cooking? I love cooking. I even wash up.......
 
14kw sounds really big cooker for a private house...housing association?Is it an HMO? If so it may not necessarily be considered as domestic as there could be more than one person cooking at once so your normal allowable diversity of first 10 amps plus 30% of the remainder wouldn't be permitted.plus if they took the cable right round the outside of the house, it could be a fairly long run..so 10mm might not be far off the mark
 
our elec. oven was fitted in 1997, had 1 new element fitted (by me), otherwise trouble free. the gas hob came from a customer's kitchen strip-out. also fitted by me (don't tell gas safe). better than all the new crap on sale now.
Did the customer know it was being stripped out though?:)
 

----, 3 of them, more like.
