Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 right lads,im replacing my cooker.now this may sound a stupid question,but ive seen first hand how electricity can end your life if you get it wrong,and i dont intend checking out just yet.is it perfectly safe for me to.switch of the breaker on my main board for cooker.switch off the cooker switch on the kitchen wall.then just disconnect cable from old cooker and connect to new one? there no chance power is still there?ive got no fancy electric screw drivers or metres lol i would just flick the main switch to off,but i have fishtank and timers and it would be a wee bit of a hassle.however,if some spark says i should,then obviously safety comes first. Have the cooker on, turn off the cooker trip, see if cooker has gone off, change it and switch the new one back on.............Simples. If only you were closer. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sjt657 191 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Does your cooker switch have a socket ? If it does put something I. There see if its dead .. If you worried then switch the whole lot off .. Safest way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
