Hi guys,
I had a kitchen fitted a couple of years ago which came with a solid plate hob and was wired to a cooker switch.
I removed the cable from the switch when replacing hob to a gas one.
Original oven was fitted with a 13amp fuse and plug into kitchen cabinet. I have now bought an under counter double oven which is 20amp and have tried to feed the cable back to the cooker switch to power it although having no joy due to access.
My question is that can I change the cooker switch to a double socket and cut the cable under the kitchen cabinet and connect it to a junction box, relocate cooker switch to inside cupboard adjacent to where oven will be fitted and take a feed from there?
Current fuse is a 32amp so would need to change this to a 45amp fuse?
Also cable used is 6mm.
Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
