Hi
Tonight the RCD tripped after my daughter opened and then closed the fridge. I thought the fridge was at fault, but after some investigating I'm pretty sure it's the cooker (gas top, electric oven) causing the problem. If I isolate the cooker, the RCD doesn't trip. The moment I turn it on, the RCD trips.
I've just had the back off the cooker (Rangemaster). When the power is turned on, there is a crackling and popping noise from terminal box at the rear where the mains power cable is wired in.
Any ideas what's causing this? Could this be what's causing the tripping? The noise is coming from the live wires (brown). The terminal box is a bit greasy - is that causing the noise?
Thanks!
