Wish I’d kept a link on here to my research about cutting off moulded plug (tops ☺).

The new upgraded search is far better, makes finding old threads and posts a lot easier

In one of the link responses one manufacturer wants a plug replacement done by “an niceic qualified electrician“ if I wanted to become “qualified”as a plug installer would niceic need to see my BS1363 certificate ?

No such thing as NICEIC qualified.

Or even a BS1363 certificate

I’ve spoken to AO customer service and they assured me the guarantee will be void, but nevertheless I prefer it void than introducing dodgy practices in my house (in terms of electricity of course)

I would like to see their legal standing on this one.

Also, many of the appliances that are sold by AO have details in their instruction manuals showing how to replace the mains plug if required.

I suspect they are confusing warranty with your right to return within 14 days.

If you were to remove the plug and then damage it through incorrect connection, I suspect you'd be goosed.

Making a correct final connection to an appliance via an outlet plate, with supply fused down to the manufacturers specification, should absolutely not void the warranty. I have done so on many occasions and would vigourously contest any withdrawal of warranty cover for doing so.

That said I rarely do it these days, sockets in adjacent units mean that I don't have to go back once appliances pitch up, and fitters can just whack them in and plug away.

What you do in your own time & space, is solely down to you

Cut the plug off and wire as before into the flex outlet plate anyway the appliance will stop working a day after the warranty runs out anyway.
