Gas Cooker fridge and freezer into extension

razoni

Hi

We are doing up the house and recently have purchsed new kitchen freezer, fridge, and gas oven.

The issue is the electricin has taken out a socket we wanted him to leave, meaning we have a double socket that needs to fit in three appliances, fridge, freezer and Cooker.

My question is can this be done via a fused extension cable?

The fridge and freezer are both 13 amp fused.

The oven is a Leisure JYFPD75. This is a full gas oven. The fuse for this is also your basic 13 amp fuse.

The plan is to have the oven plugged into the wall with the fridge and freezer running off the extension or either way round?

The electrician is now in france and we are due to get the kitchen fitted soon, just need to know whether we need to pay another electrician to come and put in one more socket for the oven.

If it's a gas oven the only electricity used will be for the ignitor and any programmer. This is negligible.

I would put the fridge and oven on one socket, and the freezer on the other.

You can get double-to-triple converter sockets eg

but these incorporate one 13A fuse for all 3 sockets, so if that blows you'd lose everything. Putting the fridge and freezer on separate halves of the double socket means you'd be more likely to keep at least one working, if the other plug fuse blows.
