'Aquacleansed' Neff Oven...now trips RCD!

[Reesy09]

Hello,

I followed the instructions to clean the oven yesterday by carefully pouring water in the base of the oven and selecting the aquacleanse function...After cleaning it, the RCD kept tripping everytime I put the oven on.

I've left the door open overnight and have just tested it again-I can get the oven to stay on if the temperature control is under 50 degrees, but once on 50 then the RCD trips off again.

I'm assuming something, somewhere is damp but don't know what to do now. Please help! Baby due in 3 days!

It sounds like the element insulation is breaking down after a certain temp., but it could be other things also, without a megger there is no way of knowing for sure. I'm afraid you may have to call someone in. You might try leaving it for another couple of days in case steam has got in somewhere else & may dry out , but I think it unlikely as you say it goes up to 50degrees ok.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I called someone out and it was the fan element as well as the one in the bottom for cleaning (which he disconnected rather than replacing).

All fine now. Thanks.
