The brown and blue wires are the wrong way around aren’t they?

I’d like to be able to blame someone else but suspect it was me.

The brown, live, wire should go in the fuse, so yes. Oops!

Racontuer · 22/01/2019 20:34

Yes brown is live and should be connected to pin with fuse.

poppym12 · 22/01/2019 20:34

Yes. That's wired incorrectly. Blue is neutral, brown is live and fits in the bit by the fuse.

WisestIsShe · 22/01/2019 20:34

Yes. The live should go into the fuse.
At school we learnt "the live brown bear, on the yellow green earth under the neutral blue sky" Smile

Blue and Brown need swapping.

I think I was told bLue goes Left and bRown to the Right

PortiaCastis · 22/01/2019 20:40

Blue should be where it says N and Brown should be where it says L so in the pic they're arse backwards

Br brown right. Bl blue left. Anything else up the middle.

Br brown right. Bl blue left. Anything else up the middle.

I remember saying this to a teacher in high school (over 30 years ago) and she was astounded, it had never occurred to her before Confused she taught everyone that way from then on Grin

Br brown right. Bl blue left. Anything else up the middle.

That's how I was taught too!

I was just going to say Brown is bottom right (br) and blue is bottom left (bl)!

Yes, this was how I learnt. BLue bottom left; BRown bottom right; Green & Yellow straight up the middle.

Well my combination oven/microwave has worked for several years like that. All corrected now.
