We’ve just moved in to our new flat and the hob keeps tripping the RCD.

I’ve checked the cabling behind the oven and can see the following.

Oven is connected to a plug socket, this runs to a blanking plate that has the hob wired into it and then it runs on to a counter top red switch and plug that connected the entire hob/oven to the fuse box.

Any ideas why it’s blowing ? I can’t see any issues and it’s worked prior to us moving in so guessing could be damp ??? If that’s the case how do I check the internals for issues.

Hi - the tripping indicates a fault and so it's not wise to keep "poking the bear". The actual fault could be in the appliances or the (rubbish) cabling. Has the oven been recently cleaned?
 
That is a seriously poor job I would recommend getting an electrician in to reinstal that who can then look at the tripping issue.
same as what he says. get a local spark on the job.
 
First thing you need to do is get that appalling connection sorted, that cable is not fixed nor clamped from that connection plate. It could be a serious incident waiting to happen.
 
I know it’s behind the worktop and out of sight but there should be never any excuse to not get the socket and connection plate in-line & straight. This however is just a small niggle compared to that joke of a connection.

Whoever has done this is a complete Cockburn.

Get it checked by a local spark bro
