They won't fit my cooker

[amka]

Hi,

I had a cooker delivered but the guys refused to fit it as the cooker switch was directly above the old cooker. Electrician moved the cooker switch but didn't fit a connection unit. Is a connection unit the same as a cooker outlet
plate? How long would it take for an electrician to go back in and fit the connection unit?
The set up is more or less the same as this picture but in my case, the cables come from the floor and are part trunked and part embedded.

Would appreciate any advice

1) start your own thread. Your setup is nothing like the OP.

2) what makes you think you need a cooker outlet?

3) did your electrician leave your cooker on and working?

Might be easier if your electrician connects up the cooker rather than the cooker 'guys'.

That way he can decide if it's worthwhile using a cooker outlet.

Hi again,

Thanks for the replies and apologies for not starting a new thread.

The 'electrician' is a handyman with 17th edition qualifications and yes - he did leave the cooker as in the previous diagram. I explained what the delivery/fitting guys said re the cooker connection point and left him to it.
When I saw the end result, I asked him about the connection point and he said 'Oh yes, I'll come back next week to fit that in'.

(The cooker's working but just noticed that there's a slight buzzing noise (for about 3 seconds) when one of the plates is turned on).

I wanted the connection point in case the manufacturer refused to honour their guarantee, if there was a breakdown.

It is generally best to have an outlet plate, for the situation you are describing.

Also handy when you move and when the new people move in, as it makes disconnecting and reconnecting easier - usually anyway. People can still make a mess of it...
