I can't think of any reason why a faulty cooker would damage the connection point if it was sound. Even a direct short on the cooker should not damage the connection point, the fuse/breaker would go out first.
If there was a bad connection in the connection point it would not damage the cooker.
If the cooker was faulty and damaged the connection point then it to must have been in poor condition.
The leccy did not know what he was talking about.
