Today I purchased a new hob and oven, both electric, the oven comes with its own cable with a fitted 13amp plug, the hob comes with the normal electric cooker cable, after installation it says in the instructions to run the oven for an hour before use, I did this without any problems, my wife went to make lunch and after a while when we touch the hop or oven metal parts we get a tingling like shock, can anyone help please..thanks.

I wired the hob myself, it was a case of disconnecting the wires from the old hob and putting them in the new hob as shown in the diagram that came with the hob, but we are getting the same tingling off the oven aswell, they both work ok and are both properly earthed.
possibly you have wired them wrong, or possibly you have an earth fault on the circuit or the wiring of your house. It seems unlikely that two brand-new appliances would both have been manufactured with an internal fault.

Yes that was it Diyisfun, as the oven was on a 13amp fuse it needed its own supply and not the same spur that the hop was running off, its now all sorted, thanks for all your help..
