DH broke the oven, help!

[Owlsintowels]

DH was doing some wiring, changing plug sockets to USB ones. He had to turn the power on and off a few times, migjt have flicked the wrong fuse.

Anyway we noticed the oven has suddenly stopped working. It must have been something to do with this. Anyone got any clues?

It's a De Dietrich electric double oven, pic attached which might be useful with model number.

Help, I've got a rhubarb crumble in the fridge which needs baking

Cheers

Do you need to reset the clock or timer for it to wirk. Have you turned the main oven red socket on and checked the fuse bix.

I don't know if your oven has a clock, but my oven won't work after a power cut when the clock is flashing 00:00 - it needs the time setting before it works.

Thanks for replies. I didn't include enough info.

The whole oven is refusing to engage with me at all, I can't set the clock if I tried. The degrees C bit is flickering but the rest of the display is entirely dead. It isn't like a nice normal clock-reset-needed situation.

Any other ideas?

Is it switched on. Is the oven fuse blown.

Push the reset button in the fuse box.
Your oven is on a separate fuse to the power sockets, or should be anyway.

some ovens just plug in don't they?? Has he loosened a connection somewhere....if it's flickering that would be my thought.

your crumble will have to wait till tomorrow, after he has checked all the sockets he had off.

Update. DH accidentally flipped another fuse today, to the garage. When he flipped it back on the oven started working again, to both our surprise. It had been off for 48 hours.
I won't question, I'm just very happy

Well I’m glad you got sorted, but tbh it sounds like you might need to dissuade DH from electrical work in the future, or get your electrics looked at. Your oven should be on it’s own circuit.

It actually is on its own socket threefish, it's quite a bit house and the fuse board has about 15 different fuses in it, including one just for the oven, and a big red switch on a plug marked 'oven'. I think it's just one of those things, oven is 15 years old and in an ideal world would probably be replaced soon.

I'm not sure what happened but there is a logical explanation somewhere
