We fitted two ovens in our kitchen which was lucky as one did not work so had to rely on one only. Just to explain we bought a load of Gaggenau appliances from Ebay ( over 18 months ago) and all have worked as expected. I tested them when I got them home just to see if they switched on which they did. The kitchen was fitted 12 months ago and we moved in this xmas. The oven in question turned on ok and my son did all the settings and everything was tickedy boo. When we came to actually use the oven it tripped and due to the time of year I left it until now. So today I got the oven out and had a look at it. The oven is on a 4mm radial circuit and that circuit works fine until the isol switch is made. I have a flex that I can connect to a reel so I could isol the oven and see if the fault is from the oven. I connected this up, L and N only and it works ok. Just by luck I decided to try and connect another cable that had an earth cable and this then tripped the CU. So just to clarify, oven trips when hard wired and when isol the radial circuit works fine. When I connect a bit of flex up just using L/N it is ok but when I connect L/N and earth it trips. I tried the extension reel with the flex on both sides of my CU and it still trips out so has anybody got any ideas or is it a case of getting engineer out as I could ring Gaggenau tech tomo but I am not sure what they will say over the phone apart from getting an engineer out? My mate who could find and fix the fault is not back from France till June so I suppose I could wait till then although SWMBO might not be as keen on this idea as me!! You can see the oven is brand new and never been used, was all wrapped up when we went and got the thing but obviously there is no warranty. We saved a massive amount of money overall so it is not the end of the world if we have to go down the engineer route. TIA

Hi all, We have recently replaced a double oven with a single oven, but the new oven is not as wide as the old and couldn't be mounted to the cupboard. Here's a photo: I'm thinking of building a wooden frame for it and having a shelf above it. The gap on each side of the oven is around 60mm. Could something like this do? where the oven sits between the the two 'stands' underneath a piece of plywood. If so, what timber size should I use for the frame? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

We're about to pop down to the shops to buy a new double oven. Brief: cheap as sensible (<£300) Current oven outside dimension: (h) 880, (w) 600, (d) 600. Caution makes me ask if anyone knows of any current offers or promotions. Just in case.
