    Hi, I am having trouble with my fan assisted oven tripping the rcd. It happens at various points – sometimes when the oven has been on for 20 mins sometimes longer – but only when the fan assistes oven is on. I have been told it is the fan oven element? Any helpful comments/suggestions? thanks.

    Hi
    Sounds like an earth fault on the fan oven element .
    This can get worse as element heats up

    Hi
    There must be an earth fault on one of the other elements.
    Sounds like you may need an engineer to test the oven with a megger
