    Electric heating elements via RCDs are not the best way to keep the lecky on, they are generally regarded as hygroscopic (attract water), what was the result of the Mega test ?
    You could be a devil and get the sparky to disconnect the element(s) and then see if the RCD trips if not then dry them out by wiring to non RCD side of consumer unit (if split load type) .
    Not knowing the oven or installation type I would give general advice to put in a seperate circuit and wire on the non RCD side of the consumer unit (using a suitably Part P registered trician !)

    I too am searching for a solution- I’ve HAD E2 on the display but it seems to be intermittent I now have no fault displayed with freezer temperature of -27.5 (using probe from barometer ext sensor!) and 5 in the fridge when set at 2, oops spoke too soon now +46 in freezer on display !
    I was taking the fault code as possible freezer thermister open circuit (from other threads) the resistance I had was 2.9K at around 20 Degrees C on the alleged faulty thermistor and I thought I’d seen a figure of 31K quoted for a correct reading, but having just recieved my new thermistors the reading on the new ones is 2.78K at around 20 degrees C so I’m not sure it is the resistance of the thermistor causing the problem.
    I’ll have to admit I butchered the connection getting the plug disconnected so this might be a cause? but wouldn’t explain the fault code.
    About the only observation I can make isit doesn’t seem to be blowing warm air out at the bottom like it used to although the fan is turning and all the cat hair has now been removed !

    Does anyone have a table of manufacturers fault codes for the FF92?
