Yes, sounds like your oven element may be faulty and needs testing/replacing etc. However microwaves are best left to the qualified engineers. When you remove the cover, certain parts inside the microwave may still have live current present even with the plug disconnected and could cause serious injury or even electrocution!!

    SOURCE: Faulty electric oven (Ignis AKL828/AV)

    I think you will find that it is the oven element that has shorted, causing the trip to go. The fan will still work, but with no heat.
    Remove inner rear panel of oven, there you will see the element.
    Remove and replace.
    Plz rate my solution.
    Thanks.

    SOURCE: just brought a bosch oven and there no life in the bottom oven

    If it has a timer, then make sure it is set manual and not auto, or the oven will not work.
    Try pressing 2 buttons at the left of timer and one button on right of timer to set it to manual, if it does not work this way, then try another combination of buttons.
    Hope this helps.

    SOURCE: Oven keeps tripping the electrics

    I would suspect that the fan oven element is faulty. what I think is happening , is as the element gets hotter, the insulation is breaking down and causing the trip to operate, it is quite a common problem
    You will need to fit a new element.
    If it is a fan assisisted oven you will find the element behind a removable cover at the rear of the oven compartment..

    SOURCE: bottom oven not working

    A tripped breaker or blown fuse on an electric oven or cook-top, combined with an element that has stopped working, is usually a sign of a shorted, then blown (if the fuse or breaker no longer fail) element.

    If you know how to use an ohmeter, you can pull the element, disconnect the wires from each end, then measure the resistance between each end of the element, and each element to the outer sheath.

    A good element has just a few ohms of resistance between the wire connection points, and infinite resistance from the wire connection points to the outer sheath. Any readings other than that means the element is bad and need's to be replaced.

    I have a stoves cooker which was working fine until we upgraded to the seventeeth edition consumer unit and rcds. Now I have a negative earth fault.Rcd trips out, circuit is fine up to the cooker. Any...

    The clue will be when the rcd trips out. If everything is switched off on the cooker with the exception of the clock when you power it up and then it trips out, it could be in the wiring to the oven from the control switch and or the wiring in the oven. The only way you are going to find this is to take the oven out of the housing and test the wiring, isolating components until you find the problem.

    My zanussi zbf360 will not heat up in the oven ,the fan works fine as you can hear it and the grill still works ,any ideas what it can be ,

    This tutorial will show you how to check your Zanussi element and how to replace your Zanussi cooker element.
    Here are the 3 main faults to look for in your oven or cooker that is not heating
    1. Your oven will not work until the clock/timer has been re-set after replacing an oven element or tripping the electrical supply. Consult your Zanussi manual.
    2. If you're Oven is not getting hot or heating up it could be a faulty element, if the fan in the oven is running and the thermostat light is on, this will lead us to believe that the element has gone faulty. With grills the thermostat light should come on there should be heat, if not then this could be the grill element or the thermostat.
    3. When you turn the oven on, the household electrical supply trips on the Rcd (this is the earth trip in the fuse board sometimes called the breaker tripping) your fan oven element has gone to earth and needs replacing.

    Grill not working on a Bosch electric single oven HBN2850GB

    Hi, most likely to be a faulty element. If the fan is working and there's no heat, definitly is the element. If it tripped the mains, have a good look inside with a torch and should be able to spot either a burn mark, a hole or a bend on the element.
