Keeps tripping the electric mains replaced element but still does it HOTPOINT

also check for a burned heating element, once you locate the element in the lower dish washer look i over for damage , you could also remove the wires from the lower element and then try ad see if it works ifthe unit works
replace the element
you have a short somewhere just trying to eleminate some items

The grill element should not 'blow' by just touching it - it should be earthed. The elements do gradually disintegrate over time & the inside wire element either fractures or touches the element casing causing the mains to trip. Sometimes this makes it trip just once & then stops working. Replace the element - not usually any fuse in circuit with this. Often held in by 2 screws adjacent to the element at back of oven and conections via Fast-ons- Rick

I would concur that is probably the element and or thermistor attached to the element that is causing the problem.
Before commiting to replace, try disconnecting the supply to the element and trying it again, if it does not trip, then this proves element and or thermistor faulty.

No service manual available, but you can be assured that it is the element that is faulty.
No need to test it, just replace it.

Disconnect the heater thermostats by poulling a wire off each stat, and then try it, if it still trips, then could be faulty motor.
The stats are located at the rear of the dryer, behind removeable cover.

Remove top cover, and unplug motor, try it, and if it does not trip, then motor is causing prob.
If it still trips, then heater is probably causing problem.
Please rate my advice.
Thanks.

Hi

f08 means heater relay cannot be actived so try unplugging heater element and see if it stops tripping the electrics.

regards

Yes, it sounds like the element is broken, and it is easy to replace if you have some mechanical ability.

I agree with earlier diagnosis.
It will be the fan element blown.

the electric went off wasnt sure why at the time but when i reset the trip fuse my oven stopped heating up so somethingobviously blew in the oven to cause the the elctrics to trip,
does anyone know how to replace the heating element, also the fan on the top isnt working either
