Either main or small oven trips the house rcd after 1 minute of operation. With the oven slightly warm it trips immediately the oven is selected on. The oven has not seen much use and was in a garage for 3 years prior to use. The oven was in the house for 2 months before use so should not be damp in any way. It seems to me to be a fault on the fan which trips on both ovens??
Check fan to see that it spins freely. Look for any evidence of rodent nests or damage( chewed wires ) check breakers and wiring to make sure they are properly sized for the oven. Hope this helps.
Testimonial: "Thanks for that. I have gone one step further and disconnected the fans. The oven still tripped. I disconnected the small oven elements and the oven took slightly longer to trip. The ohmmeter readings of the elements varies from 1.5M Ohms down to 0.3M Ohms (to earth). Could it be that the elements have broken down during storage or simply damp?"

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

Sounds like oven element is faulty, disconnect it and try again, if it does not trip, then it is definately the element..
It is easy to replace.
Plz leave feedback.

Hi, I was cooking and my oven jut went off, looked in fuse mains box and had tripped. So put back on and now the fan works but no heat...Can you give me some idea what it mite be.

I have a u1421 with the same problem! I notice the fan doesnt run too well, sometimes it doesnt run at all, needs a prod to get it running. I suspect with no fan, that the element gets far too hot, and then starts to leak to earth, tripping the RCD. I'm gonna try buying a new fan motor - you should ckeck if your fan is running full speed OK.
