I've been given a built in oven (electric). I wired it up last night, turned it on, and promptly tripped the RCB for the flat. It now appears to be electrically dead - that is, supplying it with power doesn't even trip anything. Which suggests the fault lies there. The switch unit on the wall still provides power out of the socket, so I'm assuming I haven't blown anything there (does a cooker unit have its own fuse?). It is, of course, on its own 30A circuit
The oven is a white double oven Ariston TC714. I don't have a manual for it, nor can I find any information on the web about it. Nor can I find anything useful about oven repair (except for microwaves!).
The only possibility that has occurred to me is that when the oven was removed from the old kitchen (not by me) someone dropped something - e.g. a screw in it, thereby shorting it. I know nothing about the workings of an oven. I am happy to go prodding with a voltmeter though, if someone can suggest where to look.
Any help/pointers very welcome,
TIA
