I recently had a double oven hard wired (details described in recent posts). I noticed last night when I first ran the double oven, that the gas hob molded plug touches the back bottom corner of the double oven (Oven rests against it). I felt around the area and although it is warm, I could touch it. I am concerned that if the oven was ran for a long period it may get hotter and damage the socket.
The question is as I don't want to get the electrician back. I was wondering if I unfitted the plastic box box from the wall and cut a hole out of the plaster board and then reattached the plastic back box to the wall behind. Is it acceptable to have a plastic box mounted this way? By doing this I should be have to disturb any of the wiring.
