    Would there be any issues with putting an electric oven over a dishwasher?

    I was thinking of putting them in the carcase of a kitchen unit.

    I couldn't see an electrical issue

    You've have heat from the dishwasher rising up to the cooker but its probably better that way than the other with heat rising and gravity keeping a potential leak away.

    If it's a newer cooker, many have much lighter loads than older ones, efficiency ratings and smaller elements etc

    The socket for the dishwasher will need to be fed from an isolating switch as it might be covered up, same for the cooker, as in you need access to isolate the devices


    Doesn't sound practical at all through, a hot dish being taken out could slip from the cooker etc.

    You might have a hot vent in the cooker blowing into your face from a fan oven

    I wouldn't do it anyway,

    Thanks.
    In the end we decided on a dual fuel range cooker from powercity.
    Got a bargain at €500.

    I've to do some DIY on the kitchen unit beside it to make a 90cm cooker fit 60 cm gap. I'll put the dishwasher elsewhere.
