Can I disconnected my electricity cooker my self
Is it safe for me to disconnect my electric cooker
Expert Trade Answers
"Nothing to stop you from disconnecting it yourself however what are you doing getting a new one? if so this may need a bigger cable or to be put on a new circuit as all ovens are not the same in terms of how much electricity they use so will need to be installed by a professional"

"No
Correct procedure for disconection, correct fuse type and rating. Correct size cable for the new cooker, correctly terminated switches outlet plates have no overheating signs..... Unless it's a 3 pin plug get a sparky, the moment you don't respect electricity is the moment it will give you a nice bolt!"

"I would get an electrician to carry out the work, they can test the outlet to make sure it is safely isolated, test it to make sure correctly earthed and ensure everything is connected back after removal."
