Hi all,
I need to buy a new electric hob/cooker unit (one that just slots in). Current one is only a few years old but the cooker has stopped heating up.
I’ve found a replacement that is pretty similar but it says in the notes on the website you need an electrician to instal it because it’s hard wired, alternatively we can pay £100 for them to instal upon delivery.
I don’t want to do anything that’s out of my depth, but it does seem it’s a simple case of:
- turning off the plug switch dedicated to the oven and/or the circuit on the consumer unit
- screwing/attaching in the wire to the back of the new oven
- switch it all back on!
I don’t want to fork out extra cash if it’s an easy DIY task. But obviously I will if it’s not as straightforward as it appears or it’s risky for a layman to do!
Thanks!
