Hi all,

I have recently had a new kitchen fitted. The supplier of the kitchen
sub-contracted out the fitting, plumbing, and electrics to three
different people. In order to wire up the extractor above the hob,
the electrician took a feed from a local socket, ran it to where the
extractor 'chimney' would be, and fitted a normal white plug socket.
He then plugged the extractor in, and fitted the 'chimney' to the
extractor.

Can you isolate the hood without dismantling it?
(Is there a switch and/or a fuse next to the socket for the spur the
extractor is plugged into?)

Hi Sparks,

in a word, no. The wiring is straight into the spur for the kitchen sockets,
so i'd have to switch an RCD(?) off at the CU(?) to isolate it. But that
would be isolating all the sockets, not just the hood.

Does that mean he's done a bad job?

Thanks

Dan
