Check the connections on the cooker and cooker outlet as they can cause problems if loose/badly connected

Otherwise a wire knocked loose during the move

Thanks leccy758 , will take a close look at connections .

It is not uncommon for a cooker to trip an RCD, because of earth leakage in the element, which is what you may have protecting the cooker cct in the the new location. If checks of the cooker prove it is ok, call an electrician in to look at the supply.
