    The CPC/earth isn't switched, so that could well have tripped and RCD when looking around at the wiring.

    Just to finish this off, yes it was the switch.
    Got a new one today, fitted and oven works fine now.

    Although the fan at the back doesn't want to turn anymore but I can live with that for now.

    The fan should be cheap enough to replace, and I'd definitely do so sooner rather than later. The oven will be designed to function with such, and I suppose it's possible that it could end up hot-spotting and fail again.

    The broken fan is an issue - the oven will not function as intended and may overheat and develop new problems.
