I purchased a new-build apartment 10 years ago, which came with a fitted oven and microwave. Both appliances are described by the manufacturer (AEG) as hard wired. I recently purchased a new hard wired microwave, but the installer discovered that there was only a socket behind the microwave. He...
Hi,
My current oven is hardwired to a fused connection plate with a 13Amp fuse inside and power switch. That is then connected to the MCB labelled kitchen. The MCB switch labelled cooker is actually connected to the hob. Could I cut the hardwired cable and connect an unfused plug socket, which...
My Lamona oven has broke so I’m replacing it with a new one. Does it matter that the new one I’m wanting to get is 2.8kw compared to the current one at 2.4kw?
Is it still safe to have or do I have to get one at the same power or lower?
Hi All,
Thank you for your previous advice - it resulted in us replacing our precious Smeg range with a Hotpoint; however we now have a new issue that I was hoping you might be able to advise on:
The oven works nicely and the heat seems good etc. But it makes a pulsing noise when you're using...
I have just replaced my old double oven which was about 10 years old with a new model as whenever I used the top oven it tripped the electrics. However the new one is doing exactly the same. Bottom oven works perfectly as did the old one, so question I have, is the oven faulty and it’s a...
Hi all
We are hoping to upgrade our oven.

Hi all,
I've recently had an oven installed by AO and afterwards I noticed in the installation instructions that the electrical connection needed to be in a certain position, given the depth of the oven and position I became concerned that the back plate or cables may burn through.
They came...

We have bought a dual fuel range cooker which states it has a nominal power of 4800W
By my calculations this means it will draw max 20A
The power cord of the oven is rated to 25A
My question:
Are we permitted...
Hi, I've recently had my broken oven replaced in my flat and I paid for delivery and installation.
It was hardwired through an unswitched plate which leads to a fused spur with switch on the wall of the kitchen.
Everything seemed fine until I idly glanced through the installation manual. It...

The customer has a kitchen ring main with a previous fuse spur for a cooker...
