Hi I have the above oven. I replaced a switch for the top oven/grill. It worked fine for about 6 months, then it started tripping the electric so I just stopped using that bit as still had main oven. I’ve recently had a new kitchen fitted, my main oven worked fine while they had a mini transformer thing attached. I was away when final electrics were done. I’ve come back to a note saying cooker faulty. Had someone wire it back into the wall and it trips the electrics. Although before I went away could still use the main oven and all the hobs fine. Any ideas to what this may be, someone said the elements but not so sure as was working fine before I went away, wondered if there was a trip switch on cooker that needs resetting. I understand if they switched top bit on it would of tripped electric but now won’t even let me switch on. Sorry for long message. Thought element was just to heat?? Wondered if I got someone to replace the switch I originally did would it solve the problem.
Thanks
Lisa
Re: Beko oven 655s
When you say you replaced “switch” was it he thermostat you replaced? If an element has an earth fault on it, it can trip the electrics. There isn’t a tripswitch that can be reset, but on some there is an overtemperature cut-out that needs replaced if its gone open circuit. Best perhaps to have it checked by a service engineer to be sure.

It was the switch that the knobs fit onto, on off the kids had snapped it off somehow so had to replace the little unit that goes inside, and the knob fits onto, called a switch I think.
Re: Beko oven 655s
Yeah sounds like its the selector switch you had to replace which has the thermostat piggy backed on behind it. It could be at fault if some of the contacts have blown or are not closing correctly. If appliance has been disconnected and rewired up again, check the terminal connection block is wired right with all links if any needed are tightened up correctly.
