I wonder if anyone could give me some advice about a problem with my parents' oven?!
A couple of months ago, the element went (the oven was only just over a year old) and I changed it for them. The other day, the electrics tripped out in the kitchen and it turned out to have been caused by the kettle, which was knackered. My dad reset the trip switch, but later found that the oven was once again not working. Presumably it's the element again, as the rest of it works, just not the lower fan oven.
The oven wasn't in use at the time that the electrics tripped, so this couldn't have caused the element to blow, right? It seems very strange to me that the two things happened at the same time, and obviously an element should last more than a few weeks...
Any ideas
