Zanussi ZCV667MWC (94890408800) Cooker Tripping

[jontymox]

Good evening all,

The above cooker trips randomly, and I have found it does so when switching the top oven off, from a normal setting.

The top oven heats perfectly well, so I suspect the selector switch.

However, the switch appears good, so I wonder whether I should order a replacement switch, or look at other possibilities…

still sounds like and element with an earth fault
but a borderline one close to the value needed to trip the rcd

Agree with Dave definitely an earth fault on element

Thanks chaps,

Not returning to the above cooker until next Wednesday, as it’s in a Village Hall, and the caretaker is unavailable until then…

Will Mega grill and hidden base elements, and hopefully confirm fault.

mine turned out to be the fan oven element It only did it occasionally and usually when turning the oven off.

Revisited the cooker in question yesterday, and the double grill element was the cause.

Confirmed by Mega Testing, and replaced element – all good.

Thanks again all,

jonty
