Fault with AEG oven/hob

[Stapes]

Gents, I wonder if I could get your advice...

I live in a five year old block of apartments and all of a sudden a few days ago, the in-built AEG Complement oven stopped working (i.e., no power was being supplied to it as indicated by the lack of digital clock). At the same time, the separate electric hob (affixed to the granite above the oven) also stopped working. I could be wrong but I would have thought that these two items are not directly connected?

The electricity that supplies the rest of the flat is working perfectly, and no switches have tripped in the fuse box, nor anywhere accessible at the wall. Any ideas as to what i can do?

Many thanks in advance!

They could be on the same supply are they identified at the fuseboard. Could be a lose connection which would require urgent attention from an electrician.

You might have accidentally nudged an isolating switch in the back of an adjacent cupboard.

They are identified on the fuseboard as 'Cooker/Hob'. I didn't knowingly nudge anything as it was working one evening then it wasn't the following morning. Is this something that a professional needs to look into? If so, do you know of any websites that can help me find a trusted electrician local to Battersea?

Do you where the isolator is to check it hasn't been switched off.

It would help if I knew what an isolator looked like...!

Yes like that.

In that case then yes i know where it is (alongside switches for the extractor, dishwasher, etc) and no it hasn't been switched off!

Turn it off and back on again.

If that puts them back on he will still need an electrician.

I'm in Battersea, SW London - happy to be contacted if anyone is local?

As a starter for ten, you could try this web site; Competent Persons Register | Home - http://www.competentperson.co.uk/

Trouble is in town (as elsewhere), there might well be some rogues registered. This and word of mouth would be a good choice, although SWD seem local'ish?

I'm in W12 and "could" have a look if you don't find anyone else but not for a few days I'm afraid.
