I've just fitted a new grill element in the oven. It was purchased from partmaster as an alternative to the original part (that isnt available anymore).
Anyhow, I put it in and turned the grill on, and it was warming up then the Cooker Fuse (Contactum 7132B) in the consumer unit tripped, which made the RCD Fuse (Contactum B8003/2) trip too.
I checked that the earth was connected and it was, I did notice however that the wattage rating on the new element is 2400W whereas the old element had a rating of 1200W. I'm not sure whether this would make any difference, and if not have I been sent a faulty grill element?
Help?
