Apologies for asking this because i should be asking my electrician, but i can't get hold of him for love nor money. Would really appreciate any thoughts or advice....
I've had a new kitchen fitted which includes a fitted combi microwave next to a gas oven (they are in side by side units). I had the electrician come and do all the elecs from scratch as it was an extension but i'm currently unsure as to whether the supply i have for the combi microwave is appropriate.
Basically, the microwave is acting up and the retailer i bought it from says that it sounds like it's a power issue and that it needs a 30amp feed.
There are basically two double sockets at the back of the microwave, (each of which has an isolation switch too). The oven is plugged into one of these double sockets and the electricians obviously intended to have the microwave plug into the other.
My specific question i guess would be, is the oven supply not 30A anyway? And therefore shouldn't the microwave work perfectly if plugged into the double socket that the oven is in?
If both sockets are 13A, how do they get changed to 30A - the wire needs changing yes?
Thanks!
