Hi,
We currently have a gas hob and a built-under single oven in the kitchen. We want to change to a double oven but reading up on it, one issue might be the cooker socket.
The current oven is hardwired into a 'cooker' switch on the wall but as it's a single oven only needs a 13 amp. The new oven we're looking at needs 32 amps.
I've looked at the circuit breaker box to see if there's a clue as to whether the wiring will take the new oven or whether it needs redoing.
If I'm understanding it right, this is a 32amp breaker and I should be ok to get the new oven wired in to the existing socket, but wanted to ask and check.
