I've attached a pic of it all below. Since I posted this yesterday hob was used a couple of times with no issue yesterday afternoon/evening but then went to use it again half an hour ago and it tripped again. Flicked power back on and it worked fine.

The one on the left is what trips

Hi all, we had our gas hob removed months ago and finally just got round to putting an induction hob in. Its a normal 4 ring induction but one of these newer 13amp ones with a moulded plug on. In the kitchen we have a fused cooker switch on the wall which feeds a 2 gang socket in the cupboard...

Having just taken it apart, looks like i was on auto pilot when fitting it and wrapped the barb in ptfe tape. Im now thinking this is one of the few connections where its better not to use it and was probably causing less grip with the barbs and allowing the water past?

Hi all, We've got an outdoor tap fitted with one of them kits from screwfix where a hose pipe attaches to the hose tail fitting.... I have got the hose connected with a jubilee clip and also added some silicone before attaching it and around the fitting after, however its started to leak...

Yeah they are on their boundary wall, so technically when the windows open they are over our boundary slightly

Hi, We are looking at getting a two-storey extension on the side of our house. Next door neighbour has a bathroom in the centre of their house upstairs with their windows (albeit obscured windows) facing/opening out into our boundary on the side of our property. The new extension will go upto...

Haha definately! Funnily enough i was just looking at a post shovel earlier. Think ill stop the concrete bashing now then and go for that

Building surveyor is doing the drawings for a two storey side extension, he has recommended exposing them at any stage between now and build starting to avoid any unexpected work later on. Im doing it now because ive got a breaker for a week doing something else so wanted to crack on with it...

Im having drawings done for an extension and have been asked to expose existing foundations. Side of our house is covered in 6 inch concrete and im just working my way through it now but a right pain in the behind. I assume it just needs to be big enough to get a spade in at an angle? Im...

Morning All, I'm looking to move my shed across the garden by about 5 metres or so so will also need to extend the existing SWA cable so that it can reach. Currently the SWA cable is connected to the internal fuse box in the house, goes under the garden, pops up into the shed and has its own...

Hi All, Currently got a large conservatory with glass roof and as we all know its red hot in summer and a bit cold in winter. We are also south facing. We are currently in the process of getting drawings done for some extension work, part of which will involve changing the conservatory into an...

Ok thanks. Would my way also work? Taking the box of the wall will give me more room and I'm assuming disconnecting mains power and battery will leave no power for the siren to ring? Or is there still a way the bellbox can sound due to a disconnection? If the latter then I will need to enter...

Hi All, My Veritas Excel alarm panel is in a cupboard where I need to carry out some work and it would help if I could temporarily take it off the wall. The panel is right next to the electrical breaker box. If I disconnect the mains wire going to the box and also remove the battery, can I go...

Hi All, We currently have a large glass roofed conservatory on the rear of the house (SW facing) and looking to extend it sideways and put a tiled roof on. We will be looking to put a 3 or 4 pane bi-fold in the centre but not sure what to put either side. I was thinking of running glass...

Hi all, Im considering a side extension and currently going through the early stages of getting drawings done. In advance of having someone round, they have asked me to locate any drains on my property. We have a manhole cover at the side where the extension would be built over and ive just...

Hi, Im having a bit of an annoying time with my pipes :oops: The past week or so whenever I turn on the cold tap in the kitchen on past half way I hear a loud humming noise from somewhere above which is around the bathroom area upstairs. The noise is like im turning on a pump and has that sort...

Ok, I get you. I'll just have to give it a try then once I install the new one. Just out of interest though, should I ever want to remove the switched live from the 4 gang, I assume the other end is terminated somewhere on the fan itself (same for the isolator switch)

But will the fan still get the power? Im under the impression that the fan needs to have that switch turned on for it to work in its current setup? I want to remove both ends of that connection completely so the only on/off is the isolator

Hi All, Currently got a timer ceiling extractor fan in the bathroom. It has its own isolator switch above the door which is always set to on and then its also hooked up to a 4 gang switch next to the door (rest are different lights) - before we had the bathroom done a couple of years back it...
