Cooker circuit problem

[varilite]

I was asked to look at a job late yesterday where double oven has stopped working so called out an oven engineer to look at it and he said nothing wrong with oven there is no power from cooker switch. I had a look and there is power leaving c/u but not arriving at switch. Customer did complain of an electrical burning smell coming from oven but I could neither see or smell evidence of this. Cannot see how the cable is routed he said it was done when kitchen extension was built 20 years ago, having taken plinths off units can see all manner of dodgy wiring so my concern is that thre maybe an inaccessible high resistance joint in the cable that has burnt. But then why would it take this long to manifest itself? Any other theories?

serves you right for drinking tea. disgusting stuff. have you seen the inside of a teapot? that's what your stomach lining will be like.

Nothing like a good cup of tea.....especially when your sat down pulling your hair out over a mindboggling domestic problem

i generally find a king size rothman's helps the problem solving, unless is after noon, then a pint works wonders.

I find the best cup of tea of the day is always the first one of a morning, after that it's all downhill until beer o clock.......There's another thread gone then

King size rothmans are an excellent smoke at a reasonable price, quality of bensons and the price of sterlings!

I have heard tell plenty of reasonable smokes in Brighton and the surrounding area, not sure they would be reasonable if you tried to set them alight though

Be a good laugh watching them jump around slapping themselves, though. :93:

If you can see bad wiring it probably is what you suggest, a JB tucked away somewhere. This is where one of those new fangled thermometer cameras would probably come in handy, good luck in finding it, sounds like its gonna need a re-wire to me.

its where a wander lead and a low resistance ohmmeter would come in handy n all....
thats assuming you know how to use it that is....
to the O/P....confirm using method 2 first.....whilst camera boy is still setting up...
