    Hi
    I have a Rangemaster Toledo XT110 Ceramic serial number 7703 152023.
    When I use the RHS oven at around 220, it operates okay for about 20 minutes then the cooker MCB trips. Reset MCB, both ovens do not work but the hob is okay.
    After about 20 minutes the ovens work. Have read the guides on the site and am thinking the problem is most likely the oven timer. My reasoning is that the timer is above the faulty oven and there is a connection being affected by the heat from the oven. Should I go for the timer?
    Thanks

    I’d check the wiring and the element first before jumping to that conclusion.

    Hi
    Thanks for prompt reply.
    If it is the element in the faulty oven why would it stop the other oven from working?

    Sorry I misunderstood that bit, I thought it was one oven and not both.

    If both ovens are not working then yeah, the timer would seem logical unless there’s a safety stat that cuts both out as well.
