Yes you were right. I have now had the work done and they stated on the minor works certificate 'Circuit chart does not correspond to DB'. I asked them about it and they stated the doorbell was mislabelled?? when they were looking at the installation certificate i received when i had the CU...

So might it be a fault or miswired? Its definitely the leftmost switch which trips and the switch marked cooker on the consumer unit (in my photo) that Will stop the use of the oven. And its when i operate the oven that the leftmost switch trips.

Yes its been like this since i had the new consumer unit put in a couple of years back. I have been using the microwave as regards oven stuff anyway and i have a feeling its the oven which is the main culprit. I thought it was the individual switches tripping but my experiment of recent shows...

firstly apologies for the very slow reply. as suggested i contacted some electricians for quotes and have been doing that. they each want to do something different :( but anyway, as regards the tripping i was going to go from memory, then thought, what a wally and got the single oven out...

thanks for all the information. Knowing now your very last point i think shows what a great boon having a forum like this is ,as the last point shows that it's even more important that people having electrical work done need to know what is going on.

Sorry to interject but you hit the nail right on the head when you said unless you know then you dont or something thereabouts lol. But made me think might be wise that i know of other certificates they may provide for work done-just so when i say, 'hi,err will i get an xyz certificate on work...

So would i be correct in assuming a 2 gang switch will have an appearance with 3 obvious Ns and 3 obvious Ls, ie supply and 2 loads.

The side of the box says its a 2g , didnt make sense to me and i know nothing about electrics. That is the one item i bought and its box..even has a little sticker on the box and on the device which match and say M1222? Its also worth pointing out that i ordered a 45A one and got...

Cheers guys, you are amazing. where to begin.. 1. Wrt MInor Works Certificate, will all qualified electricians be able to supply it? May they charge extra / turn their noses up at supplying one? Edit: sorry ignore this one, JohnW2 just answered it. 2. Wrt 2 pole switch, if N1 & L1 supply...

Thanks for all your answers guys, its really appreciated. This is mainly in reply to ban-all-sheds but any extra info from anybody is great. 1. As regards ,the dbl oven and hob operated together throwing the sockets in my lounge and dining room, here is a photo of my cu. hope it can help...

Ok, i am going to stick to the microwave, airfryer and takeouts until an electrician looks at it. I had a new consumer unit put in a few years back and whenever i switch the oven and hob on at the same time it throws the power in my lounge so tbh i havent really been using them much anyway. One...

It is ok. I am grateful for the information all you forum members have told me. Thankyou though what is the purpose of the connector unit? Couldnt if i had only 1 appliance run cabling directly to the dp control switch from the appliance and then onto the consumer box?

@prenticeboy thanks ,the pictures you gave and method is perfect-exactly what i was looking for. I think it may be too difficult for me to do being a rookie, lol i may have chanced it if it was just rigging up cables between the present socket and the appliances. Thanks again for the advice and...

@johnd thanks for advice too. No it doesnt look as if theres a cooker circuit.

Thanks prenticeboy for adding more, its welcome. I got the link by googling indesit fimd23wh i think and viewing the pdf. I will just search for link Edit: http://talkappliance.co.uk/downloads/?sa=downfile&id=53 So, as i say i am a rookie seeking knowledge with nothing to go by , so if...
