So what your saying you just bought a second hand cooker. Did you see it working before. What was wrong with the old cooker.

 

[shell24]

yes we did see it workling it was fine are old one the top is the only thing that work on the old one

If your sure it was working then it either wired up wrong in the plastic box at the back. Easy way to test is disconnect the wires again make they are not touching then turn power on if it don't trip you have a fault with the cooker.

 

[shell24]
