Cooker not getting power

[Andy78]

My boyfriends step dad came round and we have found out both sockets are working so it’s definitely something behind the cooker, although we didn’t have the right screw driver to take this out so that’s as far as we got. So it could be a fuse or loose wire behind that we are thinking?

This is where an electrician comes in. To fill in the gaps in expertise lacking amongst family members. Please keep safe and give someone local a call.

he meant the socket on the cooker switch, if there is one.

Yeah that’s the one we tested it’s getting power

The problem may not be behind the switch. Check it, by all means, but if it’s ok, there may be an outlet plate behind the cooker or in an adjacent cupboard.
More likely, a loose connection can happen at the appliance, as those are the parts that are connected by a homeowner and may not be as tight as it should be.

My dads going to come and check behind the cooker so failing that we will get an electrician in, I think it maybe as everything the previous owner fitted doesn’t seem to be fitted right.

make sure the power is OFF before he pulls out the oven

Yes I know that, my Grandad was an electrician so had it drilled into us

He has managed to fix it, it was a faulty switch. One of the wires wasn’t tight enough and had burnt out one of the connections. Thanks everyone for your help appreciate it!

Glad it’s fixed.
One little problem can cause so much grief.
