Siemens oven trips switch on consumer unit
Hi there,
Our ~ 9 year old Siemens double oven seems to be tripping the switch labelled: RCD Controlled Circuits on the consumer unit. The top oven/ grill can be operated without any problems, however when the main fan oven is operated it soon trips the MCB. It has been doing this for a few months now. Any pointers? |

See the section on heater elements he http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php?..._earth_leakage But in summary, try disconnecting the heater element and then see if the oven still causes a trip. If it does not, then replace the element. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Just to throw a variable into the equation, I had a somewhat similar problem and that was the fan motor. I hope it's the element if you've ordered a new one ! Rob |

Rob hopefully the "disconnect element and test by switching oven on" approach should have caught that one.... Jim K |
