during cooking the cooker blew the main RCD and cooker RCD trip in the consumer unit. After resetting the trips the oven still delivered some heat but was unresponsive to the temperature control. The Auxilliary oven oven/Grill still works fine. Any suggestions? Could it be the thermostat?
Thanks
The fan element would have blown. it is not uncommon for an element to trip an rcd when it blows. you are on the right track, if you replace the element all your problems should go away

changed the fan element as suggested, simple to do. fantastic service. A+++++++++++
Have had to fit 2 previous elements to my cooker. On both occasions I have done it by pulling the wiresthrough. This time, however , ! wire became detached so I had to remove the rear panel.
Now I have 1 light blue on one side of element and red / white on other prong.
Now I have white and blue wire hanging loose. Does it connect to light blue or the white and red?
At moment fan comes on but element does not heat up.
Grateful thanks for any help.
