Just a quick question.
My built-in oven doesn't heat anymore, but as its old i've decided just to get a new one.
Its an electric built-in oven with a separate gas hob.
I was examining the connections and fittings I noticed that the Oven is connected to a standard 13A double socket with standard 13A fused plugs (one goes to the oven, one to the hobs).
However, this standard double plug socket is wired from a 32A cooker socket which is connect from the cooker fuse in the fuse box.
I cant tell whether my old oven is required to be 13A (Although it is rated at a max of 2.8 kW, Voltage 240V) as its too old to find any specs.
The new builtin ovens that I like say requires 20A or 32A.
If I get one of those requireing 20A or 32A will I be able to disconnect the wires from the old oven on to the new one or is there going to be a problem and I'll have to get an electrician in for complete rewiring. Ive talked to an electrician friend and he said it would be fine. But I want to be double sure before spending almost a grand on a new oven.
