Hi, hopefully someone can shed light on this.
We have a house that has been completely re-wired with a Wylex CU - unfortunately one of the ones that has recall issues. Everything worked okay for 2 months, but then the oven which is hard wired with the hob on a separate circuit, started tripping the RCD. This was after 20 minutes or so being switched on, the hob was not in use, only the main oven. To check, the oven has had a plug put on and is plugged in to a standard 13amp socket, which is on the other side of the CU, therefore a different RCD and everything works okay.
I have waited 4 weeks for Electrium to get someone out to see us, to check whether it's a faulty CU, but all they were sent to do was check the relevant fuses on recall.
So now I'm stuck, what do I do? What is faulty - logic says it can't be the oven, so is it the RCD?
Any help much appreciated.
