Cooker Socket not working nor cooker.

Just cooking dinner in the oven. Just gone out to check on it and noticed oven has gone off. Looked at wall socket which is a cooker and standard socket. The cooker light on the wall socket isn't on. The socket half is switched on (charging up something) and the light that side is working.

Just before I noticed the oven had gone off DH had used the hob and I'm wondering if when he switched the ring off maybe something "went" in the cooker - making the socket go off.

Nothing now works on the cooker.

Is this likely to be a cooker or socket issue? Could the oven have blown a fuse in the cooker side of the wall socket? (Do hard wire cooker sockets have fuses?)
I'm guessing socket issue as socket light has gone off.

We've played with the fuse box and it makes no difference to the cooker socket.

What to do?? Any one had similar, if so what was your solution/problem? Any ideas?

Attached a pic of the type of socket.

Have you checked the fuse box?

Would you be able to turn the power to the socket off (make sure you have!), and unscrew the plate to see if there are any loose wires? I don't know much about electricity, but would take s look for anything obvious, as long as you make it safe first.

Thanks. All our fuses on the fuse box are in the correct position - as in switched on. None gave flicked off.
We've turned them on and off one at a time and the master switch on the fuse box. It turns off everything but makes no difference to the cooker socket.

Th says he will take it apart later to look. I think he has a current tester in the garage. Unfortunately the fuses in the fuse box aren't labelled. So it's a long process of seeing which switch does what.

We had a cowboy kitchen fitter last year do our kitchen. I know we moved the oven to an opposite wall. I recall the hardwire being taken from original cooker wall up over the ceiling to the new docket. Long story but kitchen bloke left without completing the job and we had other tradesmen on yo correct and finish off the job. The whole job yook 7 months - its a stsndard sized kitchen in a 3bed semi!@ The electrics were signed off by a local electrician and certs all issued so I thought they would be ok. My heart us on my mouth right now in case the tiles need to come off the wall and the newly plastered ceiling needs to come downAngrySad. I'm hoping it's something simple.
