    Had a new kitchen installed, been using oven for 3 months. Last night it blows out and I can smell burning and find the plug smoking result as detailed in pics.

    Contacting the kitchen fitter, but assume I’ll need to contact magnet who provided the oven. Anyone any idea why this would happen? Appliance specific or this to do with how the electrics have been done?

    Fuse didn’t go in the main fuse box for the flat, that was still on. I got totally no idea on this stuff so forgive me for any confused language.

  • That doesn't look like a correct install for an oven. Shouldn't it be directly into a fused spur? The plug itself looks horribly wired as is - does it even have an earth?

    Single ovens often draw less than 3KW and can be plugged in rather than wired directly (still obviously a shit plug wiring though).
