Hi,

My cooker (Baumatic Electric Oven) & Hob (Gas & Ignition) has recently stopped working! The plug socket is below the counter top and directly behind the cooker itself. It is intergrated and it's a single oven. The plug socket itself is a normal standard double plug socket. This has cracked and come away from the wall. We need an electrician to fix his but would like to know what is a suitable plug socket for this oven and do we need a cooker switch installed? 

Hope you can help :)  need information as we don't have a lot of knowledge 

 
its fine on a plug.its also common to have just a socket directly behind so you have to move the over to get to it, although most people these days tend to put the sockets in the cupboard adjacent to it so they are accessible

 
Ok. Thanks! Do you think it's just a case of replacing the plug socket or changing it to a more compatible socket? The oven has never worked well, it seems it works too hard and gets too hot! We never have it over 170•c. Any higher and the food burns before it cooks. It seems it's too powerful.

More likely the thermostat in the oven is faulty.

Just replace the socket. Get a decent make not a cheap one, some of them don't stand up well to a constant heavy load.  If there  is any doubt about it's condition, fir a new good quality plug on the end of the oven flex as well.
