Hi all. I've been renovating my kitchen and just finished tiling. Unfortunately however the cooker (electric hob) is not working anymore, though it was working before. The cooker switch light does not turn on either, though the plug socket and its light on the same faceplate works fine which I...

I'll get an electrician in to do the connections but need some advice on laying the cable as it's a 15-metre run from the supply box to where the ovens and hob are located. I guess it could take days to lay the cable! Currently, there's gas only in the kitchen. What size cable, 6 mm or 10 mm...

Hi all, I've just tried wiring an indesit IB65B60 induction hob. I read the instruction manual and it said for 240v connections to put the brown/black wires together on the live circuit, earth for earth and the blue/grey wires on the neutral. Image here > https://ibb.co/h8jL9Y2 When I turned...

Hello. I've just had an induction hob fitted, a Hotpoint with flexi space. After first use of a new frying pan and 3rd use of a new saucepan, some weird marks have formed on the pattern of the hob ring, they have turned a silver colour in patches... see photos (very tricky to pick up in a photo...

Hi all. The gas igniter on my stove has completely stopped working. The stove has been in the property since i moved in (5/6years ago), I have done all the necessary steps to ensure it should work. I noticed that the igniter button had been pushed too far in, so I tried to pull it back...

Hi all My electric hob is fitted in my kitchen, however it appears to be pulling away from the frame and dropping in one corner. Any recommendations? The frame appears to be aluminium. Is it easy enough to glue or is there some kind of prop that can cover the gap between the hob and counter?

Hello Everyone, I was doing my routine hob cleaning, (NEFF Ceran Schott) as soon as I attempted to lift one of the knobs to clean underneath (so my gf wouldn't have a go at me) the hob fuse in the main control tripped. I tried to lift the fuse switch twice but it failed straight away both...

Hi I have a 100 cm wide ceramic hob and needs replacing as it has started to malfunction. The current model is Cata ECL90TF however this model looks like it has been discontinued. I cannot find any other hob with 100 cm width. I have a granite worktop and I cannot fit a smaller one (less than...

Hello. I want to replace this solid plate hob with a ceramic one. But there's not the prescribed 15mm of space between the oven and worktop - it's covered with a small wood panel that's started to fall down on one side. Is it possible to replace this with a ceramic hob? And if so, do the sizes...

Hello, New kitchen fitted, and, as part of it, new induction hob installed (with new circuit) in replacement of the old gas hob. Also new sockets installed here and there. Any certificates that should have been issued? We're in Scotland. Thanks.

Which cooker hoods are actually suitable for kitchen diners. If I follow the recommendation of changing the air 10x per hour then I need an extraction rate of about 750m3 per hour for a medium sized kitchen diner. Those listed online only reach this level in turbo mode. My existing one is...

Good evening all, I'm pricing up some charges for a new kitchen. We currently have a gas oven. The plan is to remove and replace with an electric oven and an electric hob. I know this needs to be done by a qualified sparky, I'm just looking for a steer... Attached is a photo of my consumer...

Hi all, Just hoping for some advice. Looking at replacing an electric hob and oven. There's a dedicated 32a supply on an mcb. 45a isolator switch. However, previously someone had attached a junction box to the feed from the switch and hard wired the oven and hob. The new oven we have has a...

So looking to replace the cooker with built in oven and hob. My thinking is i have room for a 600mm base unit (space measures 630mm) .. so oven in there, hob on top. What i'm unsure is sizing? 600mm is that the external width, so that if the carcass is 15mm thick, i need to find an oven that...

Hi, I’m trying to get hold of a short length of ho5vv-f cable to wire in my oven/hob but can only find a 50m roll of it at TLC electrical I have found multiple similar looking cables on Screwfix, tool station etc but none of them have that code in the description (ho5vv-f) so I am uncertain as...

Hi there My electric Zanussi hob has recently started tripping the mains electric. It doesn't trip every time I switch it on. Just twice in the last few days. When I switch the hob back on at the fuse board, it's ok again, but trips at a random time, even when not in use. It's a new build, only...

Hi I am fitting 3 electric hobs (domino hobs so 30cm induction/30cm grill/30cm teppanyaki) on an island with them being 3kw/3kw/3.7kw loads and each has 1.5m flex cable. Do I need to take 3 x 6mm T&E from CU to each one via separate cooker switches or can I do with less cabling e.g. 1 x 10mm T&E...

Hi, Looking for some advice please, I need to replace my old ceramic electric hob (Zanussi ZKF 641 X) and am unsure if I can simply buy a new one that fits the work top and just rewire it back in using the existing wire from the wall which the old one is connected to (pictures below)? I've...
