I've got an electrician coming on Friday, but would welcome any thoughts before then.
Last night I opened my built in electric oven door and the house power tripped. I took the bulb out (it comes on when the door's opened) but this made no difference. It then got worse and was tripping the electric again a few seconds after re-setting the rcd. I turned the oven off at the wall. I've not turned the oven on at any point and the separate rcd that is supposed to be a breaker between the oven and main circuit box isn't preventing it happening.
Nothing else is tripping the electric.
Any ideas as to what this might be and whether fixable in theory? Thanks a lot.
