confusing cooker wall socket Q

[HHACKINGBUSH]

How about this .The there was a bang and the cooker stopped alltogether.I looked behind the wall cooker switch and the earth wire had snapped somehow and short circuited.I changed the 45 amp cartridge fuse in the fuse box and duly re-connected all wires but nothing happens at all.The multi-meter measures no reading at the wall cooker switch mains inlet .Can the main fuse box be totally knackered?

Unlikely but the switch might be.
Have you checked the fuse again to make sure it didn't blow again the minute you re-inserted it?
Are you absolutely certain it was the earth wire that caused the problem?
45A fuse - Is the cable the correct size? If it isn't it could have been slowly deteriorating over time and finally given up the ghost.

I notice that you say you changed the fuse and then re-connected the wires, I assume this was the other way around?
