I have recently done up my kitchen and have opted to change my integrated electric hob and oven for a free standing electric cooker. The old appliances seemed to use two wires, which were fed off the same 'cooker switch' on the wall above the hob.
Do I need to use both of these cables to wire up my cooker, or can I just use one of these and terminate the other with some connector block and insulating tape.
I have tried the afore mentioned method but am getting no power to the cooker. I have metered the wires and am getting no voltage. I am using 30A fuses in the consumer unit and have checked that they are working ok.
I cannot see where the wires come out from the wall as they are behind the cupboards, Is there a possibility that the guys refurbidshing my kitchen have done some damage to the wiring when removing the old hob and oven? (BTW the cupboards/layout have not been changed, only the doors and worktops have been replaced)
