Cooker trips the electricity

[tetley]

Hi,
My newish Neff double oven trips the electric but only after it has been on over 2 1/2 hours. Once we have reset the clock we can switch it on but it trips about every 15 minutes. It's definitely the main oven. Any remedies?

My old one did the same thing so I'm assuming its an electrical problem, It doesnt happen often as I dont have my oven on for more than two and a half hours very often, only when cooking the christmas dinner!!

You get people on here sharing their knowledge to help out other people on here.

Then you get people this like tea bag who try to take the pee out off the people who try to help other people.
What a sad little looser in life

if it did it with your old one it is obviously a problem with the curcuit really need to get it checked out by someone who knows what they are doing.
I assume it does it with the main oven as this draws more power from the curcuit it could be something simple like the wrong rating on the trip/fuse but dont even think about messing around without making sure the wirie/cable is the right spec

Cookers and some other white goods, have a very annoying habit of leaking a small current to earth. This gives a lot of "nuisance" tripping.
For this reason, I always thought the cooker circuit should NOT be one of the circuits protected by an RCD (trip).
Maybe the rules have changed though............where's Nobby..................he's a proper electrician..........honest!....................even though he is from Dagenham.................LOL

The cooker does not need to be on the RCD as it's not connected to a socket but is wired in permanently as so a fixed appliance....

Oh I forget to ask what is the current rating in watts or kilowatts of the double oven and what is the rating of the circuit breaker tripping??

Sorry for delay, been away. The cooker is 5.9kw, don't know what the rating of the circuit breaker. The kitchen is an extension and all the wiring was put in in 1993 with a new fuse box. Seems a mystery that it only trips after say 2 and three quarter hours.
