New oven and hob

[Jake0254]

Hi all

Just installing my new oven and hob - the wires are capped with tin or something. Not seen this before - should this be removed before wiring in?

Thanks, Jake

No, do not remove it.

Okay.. just wired the plug on. Oven not coming on. This should be such a simple task so I’m feeling a bit of a **** now!

post a picture

maybe it shouldn't have a plug on? and should be hard wired in

 

[Jake0254]

The user manual does say ‘connect a plug to the supply cable’ blah blah. Pictures incoming.

Have you set the clock?

 

[Jake0254]

Here’s the plug.

Do they need trimming down?

 

[Jake0254]

It doesn’t come on to be able to set the clock - light doesn’t flash up

 

[EFLImpudence]

That's a lot longer than I would expect.
Cut them to length or fold them in two.

That won't make any difference to it not working, though.

I was imagining crimped ends on the wires.


Fuse ok?

I took the plug off of the old oven so I knew it was working (grill worked but oven didn’t) pic attached of what the wires looked like before (that’s from the job - haven’t started that til I get the app oven plug on!

 

[Jake0254]

With pic this time. Sorry

Okay finally did the sensible thing and put the oven in the living room, as you do. It works in other sockets. Gotta be a socket problem, but the old one worked...

 

[Jake0254]

Is it plausible to assume the hob needs to be wired in before you can use the oven socket? Seems far fetched but thought it worth asking

 

[Jake0254]

Yep. That was the issue. The plug socket was simply connected to the wired in socket. Connected both hob and oven - all working and I can start cooking in an hour.. lol

Thanks for all your help - really appreciate it.
