Loss of Power for Electric Cooker After PUlling Away From Wall

by NotFullYet » Fri Mar 18, 2022 6:14 am

Whilst pulling our Cooker away from the Wall the Cooker shorted out. After placing the 45amp Cooker Switch in the Off position and confirming that the Cookers Fuse on the Consumer Unit had Tripped the cause of the short was identified and the exposed cable was covered with Electrical Insulating Tape.
Next the Fuse on the Consumer Unit and then the Cooker Switch were both returned to the On position only to discover that the light on the Cooker Switch had failed to illuminate.
Once it was confirmed that there was no Power being supplied both the Cookers Fuse on the Consumer Unit and the 45amp Cooker Switch were replaced yet this still failed to remedy the fault.
What should be tried next?

You need to have everything tested, and do away with the "insulation tape" I can only suggest you call for an electrician.
