Electrician Jobs Oven switch isolator is missing, C2 on EICR

[Ian1981]

My daughter switches appliances off.
She doesn’t switch off her fridge freezer or TVs, but she does switch off her gas cooker, microwave, washing machine, shower and kettle.
Bloody annoying if I want a cup of tea.
Not sure why she does this, as I never switch such things off and neither did her mother?
It’s her house she can do what she wants.

My experience is that the majority of people don’t bother routinely switching off appliances.
They only seem to get switched off for maintenance or replacement.
Yes it’s nice to offer the option of local isolation, but if the consumer has no intention of using the isolation, what’s the point?
The Regs don’t require it.
Some BCOs do, even though there’s no requirement in the Building Regs.

A fair point

Not according to @Grant webber who has found an issue - unless he has fat finger syndrome!

A fair point

Seems someone has found an issue with all 44 of Grant’s posts.

Did you actually just go through every post I've made and rate it dumb. Because I accidently pressed dumb on your post while scrolling down the thread. You strange character. Must be a boring Sunday for you

Yep, doing that now, looks like I missed one the first time round.

 

[Grant webber]

Blimey calm down pressed it as a mistake stop crying

I did remove it after 40 odd notifications of getting dumb ratings

All appliances need a means of isolation that is accessible without removing the appliance.

Before I give you a disagree, would you like to confirm the reg you are referring to ?

Ok. Stopped removing them now.
Might go back and put them back.
Guess you have more time on your hands than me, if you intend doing all my posts.

I was right - ‘Fat fingers Grant’ We’ll call him - and he’s not the only one . . .

One of the reasons why I use these forums, is to improve my understanding of the Regulations.
Another reason is to help others improve their understanding.
Now I may have an incorrect understanding of a Regulation and someone may disagree with me.
But a simple disagree or dumb rating is no use to me or to anyone else.
It needs an explanation.
I can’t learn if no one is willing to explain why I’m wrong, neither can anyone else.

^^ hit , nail and head spring to mind

Of late I have been challenging people to state why they give me a disagree or dumb with out posting

And I have been explaining my reasoning for giving such feedback .....

The disagree/dumb button needs to go - if not just to calm you down @spinlondon!
People would verbalise their disagree/dumb if no button available .
