I have an Indesit double oven. (Don't know model as I type)

Yesterday, the main oven didn't produce any heat. The fan comes on, so
does the oven light and everything looks ok except there is no heat.

Most likely the oven element has failed. *These often trip the MCB or RCD
when they blow, which explains the electric tripping out.

It's normally quite easy and cheap to get and fit a replacement element. *I
had the same problem with my Whirlpool oven last year. *I got a replacement
element from cookerfix for about GBP 25 and it took about ten minutes to
fit it. *Problem solved.

Ovens are pretty simple assemblies so it is a screw driver and
multimeter task to identify the component. As said, the bits a
readily available.

I had a funny some years back where the RCD tripped when the oven
light (switch 1st position) was switched on. Disconnected the light
totally and it still tripped - turned out that it was an earth to
neutral failure in the element and for some reason the switch's 1st
position put the neutral onto the element.
