It is the top element, getting a 6.1Mohm reading on my Fluke to earth on the inner. Already put a request into the spares section.
Re: SMEG S200X/1 Type 062 Serial 17029295
I managed to get on the boat last night and did a visual check on the fan element and the grill element. No blows. Did a couple of checks using the controls to try and narrow down the problem to an element before I have to remove the oven in “no space”. It is tripping the boat RCD not the oven/hob breaker, indicating a leak to earth or another circuit.
With power on and all oven switches off I moved the oven switch knob to “conventional oven” both top and bottom elements” are used but no fan. As soon as I moved the “oven thermostat” knob it tripped the RCD.
All switches off, power reset. moved oven switch to grill (top element only). Same result as above.
All switches off, power reset. moved oven switch to “grill heating + hot air”. RCD tripped before moving the “oven thermostat”
I am under no illusion I am going to have to remove this oven to investigate further. Obviously a diagram would be the right move but without that can anyone perhaps point to a starting point. As it is a combined micro/conv oven I want to reove only those panels necessary. I thought I had it pinned to the top element, although there are no burn marks, until the last check.
Re: Hotpoint FFS70
Thanks for the advice.
I tried with my fingers pushing all angles, nothing. Used the rubber end of a pencil and the light went out.
Obviously my fingers are larger than the BS for pushing switches.
Again, thank you for your help and to UK Whitegoods for this invaluable forum.

The F/F apeaars to be working fine since the defrost a week ago, no build up of ice on the evaporator either. Only problem appears to be the “food defrost alarm” which wont reset by pushing the button. Any adeas?????
