Belling XOU69MF Tripping breaker after on for 30-40 mins after steam cleaning

Just set the timer and all willl work. The Famous Forry

Sounds like the amperage draw of the oven is right at the breaker size. Circuit Breakers should not be loaded more than 80%. Breakers take time to trip when they are close to the limit. IF the problem started with the replacement oven element, it may be the wrong one and could be tripping the breaker by drawing too much power.

Otherwise: Wiring or breaker not sized right, maybe another load on the breaker in addition to the oven, possible bad connections causing extra amperage, or wrong the oven element made for a higher amperage oven. In rare cases the breaker might be bad, but this is not likely.

Someone experienced needs to a) identify the breaker size b) verify the wire connected is appropriated sized c) verify the oven's current requirements and d) look for bad connections.

Normally another load would not be on the oven circuit unless a diy person changed the wiring. With those items verified, a clamp on amp meter would be used to verify actual current draw when the oven is on to ensure the load is appropriate for the breaker, wiring and oven. If at this point the load is less than 80% and the breaker still trips, change the breaker.

Hi,
If you cannot turn the breaker back on then it is no good...some breakers do take some very firm effort to get them to come on...but the oven may have ruined the circuit breaker...

Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping

Self Cleaning Oven Problem

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaning option. Thanks for the info!!

you have cleaner inside the glow coil marrets and it is probably causing a short circuit and tripping breaker

It sounds like the oven element is probably causing the problem, it is more thal likely the element is breaking down as it gets hotter.
My advice would be to replace the element, this is located at the rear of the oven compartment, behind a removeable cover.
This should solve your problem.

First make sure you didn't trip a breaker. You could have power for the electronics on one side of the 220V and that is why the clock still works. Turn off the breaker and then back on even if it looks on. If it does this again you have a sever problem that will require a service call. If the breaker is tripping it could be other than the oven and if so a new one will work ok unless itsin your wiring.

If this helps you please ratre me accordingly Good luck.

It might be that the breaker is overloaded and it's no longer supporting the load of all the appliances together.If you do not want to change your breaker you can still use your oven by switching off other appliances that is running while you are using the oven

You should find what you are looking for

You could try running a hair dryer or even a heater (like an electrical radiator) in the oven.. BUT be careful.. It's possible you might cause overheating of those items Eg melt something or damage an electrical cord etc. You need to drive the moisture away, so the breaker does not trip. But monitor the process closely, as we don't want a fire. Electricians have a special meter called a megger to test the electrical insulation. We are assuming it's just moisture, not an electrical fault causing the breaker to trip. Most problems like this really need a trained tradesperson to faultfind. Take care please, it can be dangerous.

Usually, when an oven won't bake, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.
