earthing a grid plate on a modular light switch
I am currently replacing a 2 gang light switch in my hall with a 3 gang modular switch. i.e. there are 3 separate switch modules which are mounted on a metal grid plate, which is then fixed to the back box and then a face plate fitted over the front. The instructions are minimal (no wiring diagrams are given) but they say the metal grid plate which the switch modules are mounted on must be earthed using the earth terminal on it. Is the grid plate earthed by connecting a yellow/green sheathed wire from the grid plate terminal to the earth terminal on the back box? This gives 4 earth connections to the back box, 1 from the grid + 3 from the incoming switch cables?

I have a double garage door, with remote control. No problem to open it but when l try to close it, it goes down then up again and l have to finish closing it manually using a special tool and a special key by a side wall opening but it’s very difficult. I cleaned the area around the door and no change. I can hear clicking sound from the unit.

New oven install
Want a new oven installed. Old one was 13amp connected via plug. Have 6mm cable attached to 40amp on circuit breaker already supplying induction hob. New oven is 2.6kW 16amp. From what I've looked at i think I do not need new wire from circuit board. Is this correct?
