When I moved into a new house a couple months back the previous owner left an old manky cooker in the kitchen.
The reason I left it in place was due to the power supply which comes from a cooker switch on the adjacent wall to the back of the cooker which is routed behind a bunch of pvc cladding and all sorts. I wanted to make sure this was safe in the meantime while I organise the new kitchen layout and sort out a new cooker / hob & oven but I don't want to remove any of that cladding at the minute.
I purchased one of those MK round junction boxes during a B&Q run thinking it would be an easy enough job to disconnect the cooker and wire it into this in the meantime... unfortunately the box wasn't man enough for the job, the terminals were too small to accept the wires from the cooker cable.
Was this the correct idea but wrong product?
If so, could someone point us to a junction box that would be suitable.
If not, what would be the best way to make the cable safe.
