The Great Cooker Hood Caper (feat. the Kitchen Cabinet of Doom)
by Dave Prout, Electrician – Plymouth
This week took me to the fine suburb of Plymstock, where a seemingly straightforward cooker hood replacement Plymouth turned into something a bit more… spirited.
The old extractor had rattled itself into retirement, and the customer had a sleek new model ready to go – touch controls, whisper-quiet fan, and LEDs bright enough to signal the space station.
Easy job, right? Ha.
Enter: The Kitchen Cabinet of Doom
As I began removing the old hood, I realised it wasn’t just mounted – it was entombed. Whoever installed it must’ve thought it was going up Everest, not above a hob. Screws galore, mystery brackets, and enough silicone to seal a boat.
Eventually, it gave in – taking half a cabinet panel with it. Behind it? Wiring that looked like it had been designed during an episode of DIY Panic.
A Little Electric Jazz
A quick bit of tidy rewiring, a polite word with the spirit of whoever installed the previous setup, and the new cooker hood was up and running – level, silent, and glowing like a beacon of domestic progress.
Another happy customer, another day as an electrician in Plymouth. And the Kitchen Cabinet of Doom? Still standing, just slightly less smug now.
