    Oven tripping RCD - electrician advice please

    Thanks for reply - it just trips the RCD protecting that half of the board, and hence everything else on it goes too (including downstairs sockets with Broadband router on so very inconvenient), not the kitchen/cooker MCB.

    Room thermostat advice please

    Hi, wanted sanity check of thermostat replacement before proceeding... Replaced original 70's Honeywell when last decorated, and also because the 'temperature swing' from on to off was too great.
