cooker/oven circut blows.

[bernardgreen]

If it was water shorting live to earth and/or neutral and tripping a 40 amp fuse there would be clear signs of corrosion and other damage at the place where the short occured.

It isn't impossible that there is a junction box somewhere that was soaked by the water or the back of the cooker box.

...My cooker/oven circuit (40 amp) keeps blowing. I disconnected the switch to try to locate where the problem is, it has to be between the consumer unit and the switch.

if this is true, where do you think the water got in?

i'm not 100% sure it was really wet in the switch but that was the leak area so i guess it takes just a little drop for it to trip. otherwise i cant see any other explaination. can you?

Makes sense as well. Though i traced the cable half way the other half is in the Ceiling where im sure Nothing was drilled into it.. so does the leak i had make sense for the Probable cause ???

No.

Cables are waterproof so are unaffected by leaks.

A cooker circuit should have no breaks in it between the CU and the Cooker switch.

bernardgreen was right a week ago.

Bora, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing in your case.
if this simple but potentially lethal fault is still present i suggest you get someone qualified to either check the wiring/cooker cct's which may need replaced, dont wait untill you get zapped or buzzed.


well the leak was at the kitchen wall so it looked in the cooker so the water mad it trip. That’s the only way I can see that happen. Like I said no nails or screws! 100% sure
