Possible Causes

Loose neutral at terminal block, Undersized supply cable, Shared circuit overload, Internal wiring issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the breaker before inspecting electrical connections.

  • Inspect terminal block: Tighten all live and neutral connections where the mains cable enters the oven.
  • Check supply cable: Ensure the cable size matches the oven's current rating.
  • Dedicated circuit: If the oven shares a circuit with other heavy loads, consult an electrician about a dedicated line.

If flickering continues despite solid connections, have an electrician check the household supply and an appliance technician inspect internal wiring.
