Hardwired Ovens ????

Hi All

Just wondering if someone can clarify what the Aust Stds say in regards to hardwiring electrical ovens?

I'm currently in a bit of a pickle between the builder & service technician. I have an electric oven which has been hard wired by my builder, unfortunately it has developed a fault and a service technician was called to address the issue under the manufactures warranty.

The service technician refuses to work on the unit because he beleives it is not installed electrically correct and does not want to risk loosing his license. The builders electrician has cut the end of the flex plug and hard wired the unit in a distribution box. It's is on a seperate circuit with its own breaker.

The technician claims because the electrician cut the plug lead the unit no longer complies with the aust standard as compliance was only given with the plug intact.

Who is correct???? I just want my bloody oven fixed - been without for 1 week so far.

Thanks

Anthony
