Believe it or not, I joined to ask a question about a fuse....!!

[ulrichburke]

Dear Everyone.

I myself am not an electrician, that's why I'm here.

I've got a Baby Belling style cooker that rather spectacularly blew its plug fuse a couple of days ago - took out the entire plug circuit. I've got the plug sockets working again, but now of course I have no cooker!

Is it OK to just stick a new fuse in the plug, or does the fact it blew mean there's prob. more wrong with the cooker than that? I'd love to cook stuff again but I want a bit of advice first... If you think it's OK to stick a new fuse in, superb, because I've not got a lot of money to get things tested with anyway.

Yours hopefully

Chris.

looks like microwave or takeaways for the next few days. do not reconnect the cooker unless it has been tested and proved to be OK or knackered.

Thanx, I was afraid you'd say something like that...

OK, takeaways it is!!

Thanks for the incredibly prompt response, only just posted this.

Chris.

Stay on line, someone on here will be near Brighton and may be able to help.

Thanx, will do! Wasn't even using the cooker at the time, that's the strange thing. Was playing computers and there was a fizz-BANG and everything went dark, thought I'd lost the hard drive. Hadn't, got the fuse box back on, turned it back off, got plug circuit going, been using microwave and sandwiches - even I can 'cook' a sandwich!! - ever since.

Yours respectfully

Chris.
