Not Plugged in.

Zoomup

Having decided not to judge the canine cold sea swim wet  tee shirt competition this year at Walcott I decided to do some electrical work.

I came across this today in a bungalow. 

Cooker control unit with neons with a 13 Amp switched socket.

Cooker switch works fine and is connected to a cooker outlet plate.

The 13 Amp switch works fine BUT if turned off the extractor hood does not work. The hood is not plugged into the socket, but a switched fused connection unit in the consumer unit cupboard also controls the hood.

What is going on? Cooker control socket switch OFF, hood OFF. Cooker control socket switch ON hood works.

  • No chance that the hood is one of these fancy ones that has a (wireless) communication link with the hob (so switches itself on when the hob is in  use etc.) and so is getting confused now the hob has been removed? The position of the socket switch just happening to be coincidental with the extractor's confusion?

    Failing that, I'd look for something touching the neon wires that shouldn't be.
