    Hi All, My 1 and half Smeg cooker recently tripped when using the main fan oven. It was during quite a long period of cooking a roast. We reset the electrics and continued without issue. A few days later it happened again and now it does not get hot. The smaller oven still works. I assumed...

    Open neutral in cooker

    A client has a Kenwood CK405 dual fuel range cooker, for which the smaller of the 2 ovens doesn't work.
