HO called that her built in oven was not working and on the phone told me the appliance repair man said he only had 110 volts at the oven. She said he wanted the breaker checked. After determining on the phone it wasn't a whole house thing I went there the next day. Breaker was fine, 30 amp line, checked it going up in the basement with a non contact tester. It was a newer clean installation. What the appliance guy did was pull a cover and get a reading somewhere inside the oven but he didn't pull the oven and get to the j-box or check the breaker himself. Not that I want to give away work and probably he isn't allowed to remove the panel cover and check the breaker himself but seems like he could have somehow saved the HO a service call by the electrician.
