Discuss Fan oven tripping circuit switch in the Electrical Appliances Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
When you say its "tripping the fuse" do you mean the individual circuit breaker, or the RCD if there is one, if you are not sure what I am getting at, when "the fuse trips" do you lose all your electricity, or just the particular circuit controlling your oven? really need you to clarify before I can give an informed guess as to what the problem is.I have a NEFF fan oven about 10 years old, previously working without problems. Now when I turn the oven above 150 degrees it trips the fuse. Is this a fault of the oven or the mains wiring? Grateful for any advice, thanks.
I had half the house rewired a couple of years but the kitchen is not yet done because I will knocking walls down and putting in new appliances. There's a new fuse box. The oven has 2 switches, one to turn the fan on, one for the temperature. Just putting the fan on is fine, it's the temperature one that trips the RCD switch on the far right, which is alsoWhen you say its "tripping the fuse" do you mean the individual circuit breaker, or the RCD if there is one, if you are not sure what I am getting at, when "the fuse trips" do you lose all your electricity, or just the particular circuit controlling your oven? really need you to clarify before I can give an informed guess as to what the problem is.
The oven doesn't get hot, it happens as soon as I turn the temperature switchwhat he said ^^^^^. need to know what trips. a pic would help.
edit: could well be a non-RCD protected circuit, in which case i suspect the oven element is breaking down when hot.
Mandy it looks like from your description of what is happening that the fault lies within the heating element, if you don't have anyone who could help then as SC said let us know your location, you never know, some knight in shining armour may arrive at your door in his van charger to help.The oven doesn't get hot, it happens as soon as I turn the temperature switch
Funnyif in northampton though, your shining knight might turn up pushing a zimmer frame.
i try to be. sometimes i fall flat, like once i asked a guy in the pub who was a bit loud at closing time. i said " ain't you got as home to go to?" and he replied " i had, but now i'm homeless due to divorce".Funny
replaced more oven elements than i've had hot dinners. postyour loc. and see if someone is close to you.Thanks everyone, I'm glad it's an oven problem rather than dodgy wiring.
