Oven tripping fuse?

[Foxic]

Hi guys,

Hope you’re well. I need a bit of help if anyone has any idea on the below.

Out of nowhere my oven has started tripping the fusebox after around half an hour of being on.

The oven wire goes into a panel behind it where the cable is split (rather than a plug), this white panel is then connected to a switch on the wall. The switch also has an open plug socket for the microwave, when the oven isn’t on – the microwave works with no issues.

I’m not sure what else to check, the actual wire looks fine and the white panel looks fine as well, so I’m unsure why it’s tripping, but it means I can’t use the oven at all

Any help would be fantastic thanks

it will be one of the elements with an earth fault most likely
