First of all hello I'm New to the forum :) I have a Diplomat hob it would seem separate from the oven For some reason after last night's cooking session it'd no longer powering up. At first I thought it may be a fuse so I've tried all of the fused switches by the oven to no avail. They all turn off different appliances fridge oven fan etc There is one isolation switch red that doesn't seem to do anything could this be for the hob - what to try next ?Diplomat - Hob - No Power ? 20161019_085656 - EletriciansForums.net Diplomat - Hob - No Power ? 20161019_085639 - EletriciansForums.net
 
that red switch is either oven or hob or as it looks , both. if you pull the oven out you should fins a connection unit with 2 cables coming out, one to oven and one to hob. there could be a poor connection, or the hob is at fault. it's also possible that one of the FCU's nxt to the red 45A switch is for the oven. find out what will kill the clock display.
 
Hello thankyou for your help to confirm the fused switch next to the red isolation switch does turn the oven off. The red switch however doesn't turn the oven off - so can I conclude the red switch is for the hob
 
looks about right then. the hob on that red switch will be on it's own circuit. probably a 32A breaker.
 
Sorted - strangely on the main house circuit board it had tripped, more confusingly it was labeld cooker although it had tripped off and the oven was still working. No great if you think you've isolated the oven at the mains when it's actually the hob.
 
Hi - Glad that's sorted. I've had mislabelled stuff at mine, so I was thinking that as you've started, you might like to check and confirm each of the fuse connection units and switches vs the labels on your board. Maybe confirm fuse sizes in the fcu too. Embarrassed to say one at mine was a 13A when it's just the extractor fan for the hob and should've been 3A. Probably been in since refurbed 10yrs ago (not me Guv). A new set of consumer unit labels readily available off eBay if it's all a bit of a mess. Cheers, David.
 
so, in conclusion, the oven is fed from the rfc via a FCU, the hob is on it;s own, labelled oven at CU. this was probably done before appliances were fitted, just relabel the existing cooker breaker as hob.
