Very disappointed with LG. Will never use them again. Their website looks very promising http://www.lg.com/uk/support https://wws.lg.com/uk/support/repair-service/schedule-repair Sounds excellent. It is a few months out of warranty so I went in happy to pay rather than shouting...

A difficult call. The fridge\freezer is only 3 years old. This type of fault would certain be uneconomic to repair for a normal freezer. But this is an American Style side by side and will cost over £1000 to buy a new one. Cheers, Nigel

You need to read the first post. When diagnosing, selecting the bottom oven did not cause the RCCB to trip. But selecting the Fan Assist oven or the Grill did cause it to trip. What I was saying is odd, is that the element causing the problem is the bottom element, yet selecting the...

Solved. Took it apart which was surprisingly easy and disconnected each of the elements in turn. All the elements share a common side (neutral I assume) which will be why I'm getting trips for different elements. Two things still puzzle me though (i) The failed element is the bottom...

I don't have a dedicated insulation meter but I do have a professional multi-meter. As the RCCB trips at 30mA earth leakage, that equates to a resistance of 8k ohms or less so I should be able to pick that up with the resistance setting on my multimeter. The RCCB is built into the consumer...

I have a problem with my Neff B1442N/10/GB Electric Oven. On certain oven settings, it trips the RCCB immediately. My immediate thought was a faulty element with an earth leakage, but as I thought about it I became puzzled. I believe that the oven has three elements - grill, fan and...
