Hamza · Accepted Answer

Yes, if its a double/singe socket supply. It will need to be changed to a 13A Spur switch. Then you can hardwire it to the Spur switch.

Hope that helps.

If your new oven is rated for two kW, you can use the same circuit. If it is above 2 kW, you have to use a new breaker  and new cable. If you do not want to have problems, have it done by a specialist who knows the job.

Sam · Answer

That completely depends on the power of the oven. If you provide those details I could answer that.

Also if that's the only socket on the circuit.

Steve · Answer

It could be possible  depending on KW rating. As any oven exceeding 2KW should be on it's own dedicated circuit.

Charlie · Answer

Depending on how much the current the new oven will be pulling the old socket could be changed and the new oven could be hard wired in. However if the new oven requires too much power, you may require a new circuit to be wired. I hope this helps.

Karol · Answer

Yes it is possible. Just make sure there is twin & earth 6mm cable - should be because u said there is 32amp breaker in consumer unit.

Ola · Answer

Yes, it’s possible to change the electrical setup to accommodate a hardwired oven.

And you would need to hire a qualified electrician for a safety disconnect, if you aren’t competent enough to do it.

Hugh · Answer

Depending on the Kilowatts of the new oven, it might need to be on its own circuit from the fuseboard.

Cooker outlet plate and a deep single pvc back box

Yes as long as the circuit is wired in 6 mm cable
There should be a cooker switch the socket can be changed to a cooker outlet
