Electrical Assistance please
Since yesterday my stove keeps tripping the fuse switch. It seems to happen when the oven and 3 of the hob thingys (technical speak) are on.
The stove is just over a year old so out of warranty..oh joy. Thanks in advance :0) |

Re: Electrical Assistance please

I blame the flux capacitor.
Seriously, what the other two experts said. |

220 doodads, that's why it has its own supply thingy and nothing else should be on that circuit. If it is your wiring is crap.

Yar it is on it's own circuit and it keeps tripping that circuit. I am assuming that because it has only just started doing this - it is about to completely blow up or something.
Is just one element combined with any two others, or any old three?? I suppose you've tried to narrow it down. I think you need to get a person out to look at it. I wouldn't use the oven on timer tho... |

Well stop using all those rings then. Electric thingies need electricity jiggling through them before they go bang and the circuit breaker is doing what it's supposed to do.

Re: Electrical Assistance please
Does it happen the moment you switch the last one on? or is it after a short while?
If the latter than try 10 minutes each one by itself to see if its a problem with one on reaching temp. You really need an electrician to check the current on each one to see what each takes. What size is the breaker? Do you have any tech description on what each component takes (each ring and the oven). |

It is on a 220 - the whole house was re-wired a year ago so it should be completely fine. Thank you x |
Re: Electrical Assistance please
Does the breaker feel good and solid when you reset it or is it wonky? I'm assuming if it just started happening the breaker's the right amperage.

Re: Electrical Assistance please
Perhaps you need to wire it up to a block heater to get it going :rofl:

Nah I don't anyway - no idea how to use it! I think it is the back ring that is causing the issue.
