zanussi zkc600w tripping the fuse

[mik3y]

Hi, Ill try to keep this short and sweet. My Zanussi double oven has been tripping my fuse. First my bottom oven died and there was no heat coming out, the fan works correctly just no heat. I then tried to use the grill on my top oven and this also tripped the fuse. I did some research and took the bottom oven element out and the grill element out and you could clearly see that both elements had blown. I have ordered new elements for both top and bottom. Have I missed anything as it seems unusual that both parts have blown withing a 24 hour period.
Any help on this would be great thanks for your help

unusual but so it winning the lottery but it happens sometimes

most of the time tripping is caused by faulty elements

thanks for your reply i’m hoping the elements will solve the issue however i did notice that the left hand side of my hobs didn’t work either now. could this be because of the open circuit the blown elements was causing or something else thanks.

Re: zanussi zkc600w tripping the fuse

elements wont cause that and wiring info for this model is a bit lacking

1 long shot though. the mains term block at the rear has jumper links on the neutral and live connections. If the installer has not checked these are all tight and they have come loose it can cause this problem
