rangemaster 8090 no power

[jeepster1961]

hi, does nay one have any ideas as to why or cooker has stopped working.
its a rangemaster 90 dual fuel classic delux
model 8090.

the clock display isnt working and neither are the ovens or grill.

i have checked the mains power and it has mains power, however the neutral is now live. inside the cookers wiring.

i guess this means that there is a short circuit.

any ideas as to what would be the main areas to check for a short circuit

What makes you say the neutral is live? A shirt circuit would blow the fuse……

Hi,

I had a Smeg cooker with very similar symptoms this week. Turned out that there was a fault in the terminal block where the mains supply came in, so the Neutral was not connected to the cooker. This meant that all the neutral terminals I tested inside the cooker gave a live reading.

I’d suggest checking the supply right from the plug/mains outlet and follow it through the cooker to see if there are any broken, loose or corroded connectors.

That’s not to say that it couldn’t be anything else, but at least this is a place to start. Hope it helps.

Jon.

Check all the screws on the terminal block you may find that one is not as tight as it should be.
power off first though :zap:
