oven

Hi there I'm changing the element on a caple C2234 fan oven and stupidly forgot to take a photo of the element wires before disconnecting. If I was to incorrectly reconnect the new element with live and neutral the wrong way around, what would happen? Thanks a lot for your help!

So apologies in advance as I'm no electrician. I had an extension built 7 years ago with new wiring. The more I look, the more I see where my builder cut corners. I want to replace my single Samsung oven (BT621VDSD). I have pulled it out to see how it is wired but a double socket was placed...

Hello forum, My daughter sneaked up in the night, used the oven, left it on, circa 70 degrees. Now nothing really works - the hob plates do get slightly warm, and the indicator lights aren’t working properly. Any ideas where to start? I could upload an appliance circuit diagram later, if that...

Hi, I have an Electrolux electric oven, model EOB53001X. I have recently replaced the grill element but since this the cooling fan will not stop running. Will only stop when oven is switched off at the wall. I suspect that the oven themostat needs to be replaced. Has anyone else had this...

We're in the process of renovating our kitchen. We've removed the existing tiles, and in the splashback area above the hob we found a small mdf patch hiding a junction box. I'll let the pictures do the talking but wanted advice on whats best to do. It doesn't power the hob, oven or extractor...

I've just installed a brand new built under double oven (Belling BI702FP) in my apartment. The oven works and is sitting on the brackets, however it's not secured to the housing or worktop. My previous oven had a metal plate attached to the top of the oven that screwed into the underside of the...

Hi, we are getting a new cooker. The old one has been removed from a circuit that states 32amp circuit in the consumer unit for the cooker. All the new cookers I am looking at seem to want higher? 40amp plus. Have I misunderstood is it OK to use the current circuit and just replace old cooker...

Hi guys I've got a single electric oven that we've had for about a year now. It's a cheap Culina one but we have to buy cheap as the depth of our space is 530mm and you can't get *good* brands at that depth. Anyway something strange is happening recently. My wife mentioned the oven wouldn't...

Hi all, Here's where I'm at. Oven worked fine yesterday, the clock is still working (so it's powered), but now when changing to any mode (fan, heat, light, grill) and setting a temperature, the fan doesn't start, and nothing heats up. I've tried changing to automatic mode using the timer, and...

Hi all, I would like to get some advice please on the following circuit for our new kitchen. The proposed layout has a 3.2kw electric oven and a 7.4kw induction hob. These would connect via 45A isolation switches to a 6mm2 radial circuit. I am running the cables myself and would like to know...

Hello, I am replacing an old double electric oven with a slightly smaller single oven. The old one was hard wired using 40amp cable to a switch box in an adjoining cupboard. The new oven appears to come with a 13 amp cable (without plug). I am assuming this new oven will need to be fused at...

Hello all, my oven recently packed up and I went online to see what the issue could be. So I ordered a new replacement element after typing in my oven product Number. When the new element arrived it had a different connection my old one has 2 single spades and the new one has 2 double shades. I...
