    Competent Person

    I've just completed a full renovation on an empty flat. The last job to do was connect the gas hob. It was the last job because it's taken months to find a gas engineer to quote for the job (others stopped responding when I asked about providing an invoice, or confirming their Gas Safety...

    Gas hob blows fuse and trips RCD & MCB when not in use

    Hi, Our AEG 5 burner gas hob blows its fuse (the one in its plug) and trips the RCD and MCD. The odd thing (to me, at least) is that this happens when it's not being used - e.g. it happened whilst we were on holiday. Replacing the fuse (3A) provides a temporary fix for a limited interval...

    Zanussi ZKG5540 with narrow travel of gas hob regulation knob

    I have a second hand Zanussi ZKG5540 with four gas hobs and two gas ovens. The flame of the hobs is adjusted by knobs and it's supposed to go from minimum to maximum over an angle wider than a quarter of full turn (let's say 100 degrees rotation). In reality the angle is much narrower...

    Gas Hob above the incoming meter? Regs Question

    Hi Guys, I've only recently found this forum and has to be said, there's some interesting reading still to be done but I have a question I can't find an answer to: I'm redesigning my kitchen and it's pretty small with restrictions for equipment location (doors on 3 of the 4 walls) and would...

    Gas hob

    As this falls under gas I thought it would be best placed here. I am looking at new kitchens and have had a few designs by various companies and when it comes to the planning of the gas hob I am getting conflicting information. For instance if a cupboard is lower than 460mm above the hob it...

    Use of flexible copper pipe to connect gas hob

    My son has just brought a flat with a recently refurbished kitchen and I noticed that the gas hob has been connected using one of those short lengths of bendy (corrugated ) copper pipes between the hob connection and a gas isolation valve. The installation looks quite neat and professional, with...

    Whirlpool gas hob akm200wh sparking continuously even without button

    My gas hob sparks continuously. I am aware that the button should be kept dry etc. But even if I remove the button unit from the plug in terminal, it continues to spark. I thought that it would be unable to spark without the button. Any suggestions as to the cause? Eg. Does it indicate a faulty...

    Self Destructing/Exploding Gas Hob!

    Not really a DIY disaster, but a disaster due to my own stupidity none the less. Found photo below when I was archiving a old backup from a CD to my Hard drive. Simply put the photo is from my old house when I was 17 back in 2010, and back then I was very irresponsible and stupid. :notworthy...
