hi there.
today i paid an obscene amount of money for an emergency electrician to wire in my new cooker in time for christmas. it apparently worked fine. however; when it gets up to temperature it trips the main house trip switch - though not the cooker circuit.
after paying a blood curdling amount i would rather not call an electrician again if its something i can sort myself. might it be the trip switch itself?
interestingly. the last time it tripped the switch - i turned off the oven and reset the trip switch. i then walked back to the kitchen and just turned the oven light on - and the house was plunged into darkness again. how can just turning the oven light on trip the switch?
any help is gratefully received. i will of cause be phoning the electricians in the morning
