just purchased an unused (new) diplomat double oven model no :ahy4410, fitted into housing and turned on to check all works, (unit didnt come with user manual)grill came on but after a couple of minutes the fuse tripped(had left the top door shut). have left the doors open to allow grill to cool, however now the fuse trips as soon as the grill is turned on. the top oven still works without tripping when selected. as this oven is new i am a bit puzzeled, even moreso as i dont have a manual to go thru.
any help would be appreciated

twisted_fingerThis isnt going to be “brand new” if its a Diplomat, It will have been made before MFI went bust, it sounds like a classic case of “damp” in the elements which will be down to it being stored in an inappropriate area for an appliance like this.
It will need the elements drying out to stop the earth leakage or the elements replacing.
Re: diplomat 920 grill tripping fuse
finally got round to getting it looked at by an engineer, had him baffled for a while as all the parts tested fine, stripped the backplate off the unit and found bare wire showing on one of the connectors for the top element where the cable had been folded to run up the casing and was a bit close for contact. when the oven is used the backplate distorts with the heat and touches the bare wires & tripped the main rcd. replaced spade connector and bet the connector away from casing & problem solved.
