This morning i was cooking some meat in the oven as usual and after maybe 15 minutes the house fuse blew. In the kitchen there was an electrical odor of burning coming from the oven. I unplugged the oven and restarted the electrics and all is well. So it was obviously the oven
My question is: can this be traced to the resistance, and a change of the resistance would fix this? I have changed resistances on ovens before. Or is there some other part that may have caused this?
thanks
I’d have a pro check it out if you smelled something burning. Not something to mess around with.
By ‘resistance’ I assume you mean the main element? Usually an element will fail by going open circuit, which would simply stop the oven working and not blow a fuse/breaker which indicates a short circuit. If you know what you’re doing and have the right tools you could measure the element to see if it’s shorted out - which I doubt - it’s probably something else.
Short version. Call an electrician.
