We are currently staying with our daughter in the UK for the Xmas period.

She has recently had a new dual fuel (gas/electric) range cooker :-

She said that the wall switch felt warm, I had a look and it felt warm to the touch with just the range clock running, I loosened the wall switch and discovered that the screw securing the neg wire on the load side was missing.

I replaced the wall switch like for like, two pole 45amp.

The wall switch still gets warm. :?

I have also noticed that the flexible gas hose with a bayonet fitting also gets warm. :shock:

The above happens with nothing but the range clock running.

The wiring to the wall switch is 10mm T&E.
