Have you checked for a misplaced neutral?
'Tis a common mistake on a split load CU...

That does sound like the problem - possibly a neutral swapped with an
earth, otherwise the RCD wouldn't trip with a non-earthed item such as
a radio.

Yes it would, if the kitchen ring neutral has been returned to the
non-RCD busbar. A common and easy to make mistake.
