wiring integrated microwave

[hard-work]

A friend this a.m. was in panic as the door of the Baumatic integrated microwave would not open. I took it out and nent the hinges a little and it works for now.

Now the cowboy job. The flex disappeared into the back of the unit. It is connected to the back of a double socket beneath on a 32A ring. It is a spur off the ring. This needs putting right of course.

What is the usual way of connecting an integrated microwave?

Thanks

Are you sure the socket is not on the cooker circuit?

I traced the flex to behind the socket. But what is the usual way of wiring these? A socket in an adjacent cupboard? If so that means cutting off a moulded plug in new microwave and threading the flex through a hole and wiring a new plug onto the flex.

It depends on the situation.

I don't know. What rating is the appliance? Did it come with a plug?

The flex of the microwave is on 32A ring.
I did say that.

Yes, but is that definitely the case?

 

[hard-work]

Yes.

Ok, then, in that case it is not done correctly.

Put a plug back on - fitted through a hole is not ideal but ok.
