Hi,
A very brief bit of history first.
Buy new cooker 2 years ago and connect. Works perfectly for 18 months then for no obvious reason every time grill is switched on the CU trips. Hob and oven work perfectly as before. Live with this for 3 months assuming cheapo cooker grill is foobarred.
Buy new cooker and as soon as grill is switched on or ovnr temp wound up past 150 degrees it trips the CU.
Common sense tells me that the grill in the cheapo cooker is probably OK after all , and there is a problem with the aged combined cooker isolator switch/13amp plug socket or other fault with the supply or CU. Although why it would work perfectly for over 18months then spit it's dummy I don't know.
Any ideas please fellas?
EDIT: The fuse in the CU never blows, just trips.
