Help! Cracling noise (and flickering light) on Cooker Switch
DarkKnight wrote:
Hi, - I'm no sparkie expert, but could do with some troubleshooting advice - I've had a Brittania cooker installed for over 2 years now. It's a dual-fuel cooker with the Electrics supplying gas ignition and two cookers (one has a fan in it). The cooker is wired as follows : Fuse Box Dedicated RCD - Cooker Switch - Extension Cable - Sealed Junction Box - Original Cooker Wire - Cooker All cables with use a 40A cable and is more than ample for the power draw of the cooker. Extension Cable ??? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

The extension cable is the same as the cable from the fusebox i.e.
40A. It's needed because the original cooker wire is not long enough to reach the cooker switch. Another thing that's occured to me : WHy is it the crackling's coming from the Cooker Switch ? It could be coming from the RCD or from the junction box (connecting the original cooker cable and my 'extension' cable). Could itjust be a faulty switch ? |

Sure it could - but while you're at it, i'd be tempted to replace the patched up wiring to the cooker... |
