Hi all.

I've just bought a used range cooker off gumtree. It's dual fuel - gas and electric.

Should I use 10mm twin and earth to wire it or would 6mm be better?

It's a Stoves Newhome DFDL I think, with 2 ovens and a grill. The hobs are gas.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you get your alternator sorted?

Thanks very much.

Yes I bought an alternator off eBay for £28 and the garage in my street fitted it for £50.

A big thanks to Kevin Wood for diagnosing the problem.

On the back of the cooker it says 22.8KW.

Would that mean it's 95A?

have you got the decimal point right

[Kate]

have you got the decimal point right

Yes that's right but I'm guessing that's the total including the 8 gas burners.

I had another look on the back and in small writing it says 4205W total which I assume is for the 2 ovens and the grill.

gonna say 22800 watts is a tad high  for the electric side

So 6mm should be enough shouldn't it?

Don't forget to wet your middle finger and touch both wires before connecting them up, Kate, just to make sure there's power like.

Is this wise?

A woman should be kept well away from electricity.
