This was another easy fix, please don’t twist mains cables around in a loop otherwise this happens!! The wire gets twisted inside the cable insulation and then eventually stretches the insulation and shorts together causing a big bang!

Removed the old cable from the appliance and re-attached at the un-damaged section
