I was asked to start a thread in Applicances and this is that thread. The previous one was in Electrics.

Hi all. I've installed this Zanussi hob, I've wired it myself. I am not a qualified electrictian. I've installed a 40A cooker outlet plate and then used a 6mm t&e cable from the outlet plate to the hob. Whilst testing the hob using the manufactuer instructions the steel on the hob became red...

I have tested one cooking zone. Top left 145mm smaller one. Brought some water to the boil. No heat at all in the cable. But the hob itself is red hot on the steel in that zone. The rest of the steel is cool to touch. But even at the very edge of the zone I used it is untouchable. It's that hot.

So my over riding question is, using the 45a outlet plate, 6mm t&e plate to hob and the wiring I have used at the hob........have I wired this correctly?

I've included a picture of the cover plate showing the various wiring options. These are post testing so there is no melting to the cable after what I originally wrote. As can be seen, the live terminals in the hob are connected by the metal u shape objects.

I've just had my bathroom re-plastered. Walls are now flat and sound. The plaster has all but dried out. I have two questions please: 1. I assume as soon as the walls are dry they can be tiled straight away i.e. no need to wait a certain amount of time? 2. Do I need to seal the walls...
