Changing oven plug socket to a hardwired one
Hi there, I bought a Hob and Cooker package from Argos: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9343366?clickPR=plp:1:3 On the website, it stated that the cooker is hardwired. When I received this, it came with a standard plug, however the hob itself has a hardwire connection to it. My connection for this, is meant to be hardwired in - with a 6mm, 32amp connection for it. I am based in South London. My question is: 1) Can the hob (6400W) and the oven (2100-2500w) be connected to the same outlet? 2) Is there anyway to remove the plug from the oven and have this hard wired? 3) How much would this likely cost? Thank you

Replacing double oven with single oven.
Hi all A little friendly advice required please..... I need to replace my built-in double oven that has a power rating of 4.2 kW and is, as far as I can ascertain, on its own circuit due to having its own circuit breaker at the mains fuse box and main switch at the wall next to the oven. I have bought / replaced my own ovens without issue before, but something is making me doubt myself and seek clarity. My question is, so long as the replacement oven is equal to or less than 4.2 kW, it should be a straight forward, like-for-like replacement...... Shouldn't it? Would I have to replace the cable running from the oven to the wall switch or consider anything else? Many thanks in advance for your advice. Nick
Electric Garage Door
My old Everest Garage Door 2004 will not close when I press the switch & the fob. It goes to the top of the frame & no further with the light flashing. It still has power. What could be stopping the electric garage door from closing?
