    My oven went ‘pop’ last night and now has no power at all.

    Anything I should look for some fuses or anything?

    Or should I call someone in?

    Thanks

    Had a similar problem with ours a few years ago when the kids were doing some baking.The supply to the oven was ok but it was still dead so after removing the oven covers and chasing the wires around I found a thermal trip had popped, due to over temp I guess, reset it and has been fine ever since.

    Do you have a multi-meter and are your ok with working on electrical devices? If not get someone who has the tools and the knowledge, but check that the cooker is still getting mains power.

    Is the mains fuse in your consumer unit blown, or if it’s a resettable breaker, is it tripped?

    If the mains supply is good, what element(s) were on when it went pop? If the mains is good, other elements should still work.

    Find out what is bust and decide if you want to tackle it yourself. Perhaps a heating element has burn’t out and gone open circuit.

    If you attempt any repair, disconnect the unit from the mains before you dismantle the unit!

    Good luck.

    Flicking a trip switch is about as far as I will be going with it.

    Thanks all
