Hello, please help.
I have had a builder/electrician redo my home/kitchen. They have finished, and I am now going to install a kitchen. However, something seems incorrect:
Challenge is that I had an issue with the builder, and though I'm on good terms with the electrician, I want independent advice. I've met with 3 electricians, who each gave me different advice. So, here goes:
Required:
Cooker, Dishwasher & Microwave - each one has it's own isolater/fuse on consumer board
The following items are all on one 'ring':
Tumble Dryer (2kW)
Oven: 3.5kW (or 2.9kW if I change it)
Small Wine Cooler: 0.09kW
Cooking Hood: Not sure of kW
Fridge/Freezer Combo: Not sure, I think 0.09kW
4 double sockets
Problem: The electrician/builder somehow never put a feed for a washing machine, 2.3kW.
Questions:
So, an electrician said he could chase a new wire from washer to consumer unit as there is one spare spot left (and the consumer unit is nearby). Not ideal b/c of plastering, etc, but feasible. I was wondering if you can just attach it to the dishwasher feed?
And, then, can the dryer, hood, oven, cooler and fridge combo plus 4 double sockets all be on one ring?
Thank you very much for any advice.
