That's what I found when my cooker stopped working.
A 3kW (13A) cooker wired though 1mm2 (7.5A) wire on a dedicated
circuit with a 40A breaker.
The earth wire on the rear side was loose, and fell out, Not that that
matters as on the front side it was clamped to the insulation not the
conductor anyway.
You will also note that the neutral wire is not actually clamped in
the (oversize) terminal block, but is actually loosely wedged down the
side.

All in all, I consider myself lucky to still have a house rather than
a pile of cinders.
