While trying to remove oven light cover, a flash and a bang took place in the light housing and blew the mains fuse. The housing just turned and appears the wiring has shorted or come loose. Reset the mains fuse but there is no power to the oven.
If you are not knowledgable in electricity, call for service.
This is an electrical short at the light, I have seen this before.
The wiring for the light has grounded to the oven. This causes the main fuse to blow. You will need to fix the short first. Then reset the main fuse/replace.
In the case of the wall oven, you may have to remove the oven to fix it properly. Depending on the model and where the short is.
Testimonial: "Hi Mark. Thank you for your helpful reply. Looks like I'll have to remove the oven to get to the back of the light. Can you tell me if removing it is as straightforward as unscrewing the 4 screws on the front and sliding it out or are there pitfalls I should be aware of? Regards. Les"
