hello all,
we recently had a leak from an upstairs bathroom due to a blocked sink and the water leaked downstairs into the kitchen. The floorspace got fairly wet, as did the cooker which was just beneath the site of the leak. We didn't notice anything the matter until the next afternoon when a plumber came to fix a tap, switched all the electricity off, and when he left and we attempted to switch it back on again, nothing would work. After a little while, we managed to get it all back, but if the cooker was switched on, one of the switches in the box with all the switches would go off. A little while later, we realised if you tried to turn both the heating and hot water on at the same time, it would all switch off.
So, I'm wondering what the likelihood of the damage being caused by the water getting onto the cooker could be. Is it possible this is just a coincidence or is it fairly obvious its the cooker causing all the problems?
Thanks
