Beko Oven: wiring melted
What is this symptom?
If you notice your Beko oven has wiring that appears melted, burned, or has damaged insulation, it is crucial to address this issue immediately. This often indicates problems at the terminal block or connection points, which could lead to power loss or even a burning smell. Ignoring this symptom can result in further damage or safety hazards.
