    Hi there,

    I have a Diplomat Double Oven – ADP4522.

    Tonight we were getting the fan working, the hob and grill were giving heat but there is no heat coming out in the oven itself.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the turbo element (fan element) will have blown. Assuming the stat light comes on when you select the temperature?

    If you want a replacement an email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk quoting the model number will produce results 😉

    Don’t forget to isolate the appliance before doing anything :zap: or alternatively try the link below to find an engineer to replace it for you?

    Marvellous – thanks Clive!

    Happily we’re still under guarantee with MFI but as they have proven so utterly incompetant with us in the past I wanted to know what the problem is ahead of them sending someone round.

    One last question – we had our downstairs sockets trips at the mains last week. Turned off fridge, freezer, etc (missus wasn’t happy at losing all the food!). We couldn’t find anything wrong that could have tripped the fuse – could the above have anything to do with it or is it likely a coincidence?

    When elements die they can trip RCD. Unless cooker is on same cct as plugs?

    Yes elements can and often do trip RCD’s when they blow….don’t forget you actually have two entirely different types of trip on your system…the RCD is better known as an ‘earth leakage’ trip which protects the whole system on older installations, and everything except the lighting on newer systems.

    You also have MCCB’s (miniature circuit breakers) which are the row of trips that protect each individual circuit…these are over-current devices much like a fuse is (the handy difference for you is they are resettable…no fiddling with fuse wire!)

    When an element blows it can take out the RCD and MCCB in one hit 😉
