Hi guys, Im after some advice and tbh Im at the end of my tether with this now. Im supposedly hosting a fireworks bash on Saturday night and thought it would be a great opportunity to also 'show off' our new kitchen/diner extension to our friends.
Its been finished a week and last night I thought I'd better try the oven out before I decide to shove 20 jacket potatoes on there on Saturday night!
Its a Miele pyrolytic oven which I bought from an authorised Miele dealer - it was installed in their show room and apparently has the full 2 year cover from Miele - I just need to register it.
The problem is - everytime I turn the oven on - within 2 mins (so not straight away), the 30a RCD in the main consumer unit trips and all the lights/sockets in the kitchen die.
I called my builder and am still awaiting a reply so Im asking for advice here.
Is it likely to be a faulty oven or is it likely the RCD rating would need 'upping'?
The oven was the only thing on at the time, appliance wise. The oven reported it had got the temperature upto 33 deg and then everything went off. I then tried boiling two big saucepans of water on the induction hob - no issue. Went to the oven - turned it to a 170 deg programme and within 2 mins it shut everything off again.
Im just hoping its not a major issue with the kitchen wiring and can be resolved easily and ideally, quickly.
As Im still awaiting a call back from the builder I'd really appreciate some advice.
Thank you,
Lee
