Hi im a long time user of diynot and thought I would register.
I have a bit of a problem.
I have a double oven that I've been using for 5 years. Now and again the heating element goes in the bottom oven so I replace it.
I thought the element went again so I replaced it, but its tripping the RCD after the oven runs for 5-10 mins.
I thought I was sent a faulty element so I did a continuity test with a multimeter on the element and im getting the right reading.
Im trying to work out what is tripping the RCD?
Can the wrong watt element make the RCD trip e.g using a 2500 watt insead of a 2000 watt? I may of bought the wrong one.
Can a faulty thermostat trip the RCD?
The top oven works fine so I dont think its the RCD.
