have had a range oven installed by electricians from kitchen fitting company and has been wired in 10mm SWA externally and then 16mm to cooler. Is this a massive case of over doing it?? Cable is obviously too big for cooker terminals and been crimped at the outlet!! Anyway, pulled oven out today and there was a small bang and a puff of smoke! Have looked at cooker terminals and as the size of the 16mm is far too big the live has come loose and touched the oven housing, now the oven only works on two rings and the rest doesn’t work at all, cooked electronic circuits I suspect. Thoughts anyone as to who’s to blame???
 
It’s d
The guy who connected the 16mm to the oven but who in the right mind would attempt to wire 16mm to an oven??
Are you sure it’s not 10mm to the cooker?

It’s definitley 16mm, they’ve even run a 10mm swa externally all round the house as they said it was necessary?? Bonkers!! Don’t want to have to go through this every time I pull out the oven!!
