the fuse isnt the problem. its your cooker. take it back. incidentally, if its a single oven, there could be an interlock switch that prevents you from using the grill and oven at the same time. Check this, but as you have heard a pop, its probably knackered anyway 
cheer,s for reply crafty. when you say it,s knackered , the problem is a big one then ? can,t be repaired ? or is it a costly problem ? . it is a oven grill. but only had it on the oven setting when i heard a pop. electric circuit problem ? any help would be gratefull crafty. cheers
Depends how big a problem a broken oven is.gold1875 said:
Depends on whether spare parts are available.
Depends on the cost of parts (& labour if you don't DIY)
With just the one cable supplying it, how could it possibly be a plug-fuse or circuit problem if the grill still works?

Right, back to the beginning, where did the pop come from? fuse box, cooker switch, cooker? You never really made it clear why you changed the fuse. had it blown in the first place? When the pop ocurred did you check the fuse again, to see if it had blown again? A sequence of events would be good for a diagnosis here i think.

There is a simple answer to this.
Call in a Professional who has the knowledge, experience and equipment to diagnose, identify and possibly repair the fault.
Doing this yourself can be very dangerous, if you had the level of knowledge required to do this you would not be asking these questions. I understand the desire to perhaps repair it yourself, and save a chunk of money in the process, however if you do something wrong here you could cause a serious injury to yourself or your family, both of which I am sure you don't want to do, so bite the bullet and call out a sparky.
