endless appliance woes on the oven front for me.
£125 for an engineer to say our oven basiaclly isnt repairable.
£800 new oven that they wouldnt install because the old oven and hob were wired into the dedicated block
£90 to an electrician who has discovered that the 'oven' labelling on the consumer unit goes nowhere, only the hob labelled block is actually wired up through to the kitchen.
minimum £200+ quote to wire it up, plus decorating repair work. The CU is in the garage at the front, the kitchen is on the first floor at the back, so i imagine this is a significant problem.
The electrician said that the oven needs to be max 13amp to not required new wiring, my calculations suggest that the oven we had delivered requires 13.3.. how much of an issue is this really? is it feasible to make it work? the oven ordered has pyrolytic cleaning which is I guess why it consumes more power and could be a problem if the hob thats also wired to the same spur was running but we would never do this?
