(':oops:') A "little" bit of knowledge can be dangerous,,, what does that make "miniscule"??? ACSL

Thanks for the reply. I have bought the offending cooker (£102) but still not seen it yet. If you go to "ebay Stoves Newhome dual fuel cooker -what have I done?" elsewhere on this site, you'll maybe see what self-inflicted idiocy I have brought upon myself so far!!! Andrew

Update. Seeboard chaps turned up on saturday night and looked at cable. Um'ed and ah'd for a while but were unable to give any useful information such as if moving the cable was in fact necessary or when it might be done. Next day I woke up with "man-flu" and had to cancel picking up the...

Electrician came round late last night to look at work needed to update CU, fit cooker circuit and some other minor jobs. The good news might be that there may well be an existing 6mm cable left over from an upstairs shower we took out when we did our extension. It terminates only 2m from the...

Bumped into Head of estates (I am an poor NHS worker) and he pulled a book from his shelf and decreed that I would need 6mm twin and earth which should give 47amps. Not a clue about such things. Does this sound right. I might as well run the cable at least to the kitchen and buy and fit the...

Thought so, hoping there would be an easier (cheaper) solution. Thinking this through: Would make sense to "run" cable myself under floor, to save his/her labour costs. What size cable do I need? Twin and earth, I presume? "She" has just got in from picking the kids up from school...

Showing my ignorance here but,,, Will an electrician be able to wire in a 45A cooker switch from the kitchen/downstairs ring? I've had a look at the CU and there is a blank fuse space. We do have circuit breakers but I'm sure the electrician who wired in the new extension said there was not...

Thanks for this. Very helpful (no, she is not too prone to whims!). A

Thanks for the replies: The Stoves range is a double oven; one conventional and one fan-assisted with gas rings on top. The seller has just emailed me to say the plate on the back says "5465W AND 15.8kW" which can't be right. I suspect the former is the true figure especially given the...

Rush of blood at the critical moment often has long-term implications,,,,, My wife has been asking for a new fridge-freezer and cooker (& sofa etc etc) but since we are doing Xmas this year the first 2 seemed most pressing. Current cooker is a single electric fan-assisted built-in that was...

Interested in how you are getting on with your Stoves Newhome now? I am thinking of buying a 2nd hand one as well. Any info gratefully received,,, A
