I've had the oven for years, never a problem. Ran the cleaning cycle last night and although the display is normal, the oven light works etc., whenever I turn on the oven or grill in any mode, it pops the RCD at the consumer unit.
I've learnt that the high temperatures during the pyro cycle can trip an oven's "thermal fuse" and that replacing this is a likely solution. I've removed the back and top panels and the internals look more complicated than any oven I've seen before. More like a PC!
The pyrolytic cycle appeared to run to its conclusion, i.e. the oven beeped and it followed the steps the user manual said it would (symbology in the display, process for unlocking the door etc). Of course I can't be sure it didn't abort the process part way though, but it didn't blow the RCD until I tried to use it the morning after.
If anyone can help me locate the thermal fuse and test it, or perhaps suggest any other likely smoking gun, I'd be very grateful. I'd like to try any easy DIY steps before calling in a pro.
Many thanks - braniff
