I replaced the heating element after the main fuse tripped in middle of cooking. It worked for about five minutes and than the fuse tripped again. The upper oven works fine, it's only the main fan assisted one causing the problem.
It appears there is too much current (electricity) being drawn towards the element, seeing once you replaced it, it worked fine for 5 minutes and then tripped again...I believe the problems lies within the wiring going towards the element, or the thermostat that controls the amount of current coming towards the element. Instead of turning off at a desired temperature, its not and continuing to heat up to the point of tripping the fuse. Try replacing the thermostat.

you oven element has failed.
it is located at the back of most electric ovens sometimes at the top,,
the insulation of the element has failed and when you come to remove it you will see visually see the damage... its easy to replace as there are only wires attached to it and only a few screws to undue to get to it..
hope this helps cheers

I suspect not the oven element at fault. you only way forward is to actually test the resistance of the element to earth with a megga if you can beg the use of one. be cautious about the result as on occasion, elements are only faulty to earth when hot. another way to test if you are cdarefull, is to connect the element to mains independently of the oven and see if the rcd trips

Hi.
Probably a faulty element, if you feel competent enough, disconnect the feed to the elements in turn, this should eliminate the problem.
Good luck.
