hi all i try and keep it short the oven tripped the electric out the other night we thought it was the element so replaced it (bought 2) the 1st one worked ok for a week then the oven started tripping again so checked all the conections in the back of the oven looks ok nothing obvious so fitted element no2 just to see what happens any ideas and what else it could be i would be grateful many thanks

What's tripping, the breaker for the oven, or the RCD for the consumer unit?

Don't forget you get a 2 year guarentee with bosch. Just dont tell them you've replaced parts yourself.

Prob pick up a replacement oven from B&Q etc as ex-display for £120 ish.

Comes with a nice 13amp plug too..

You certainly need to get this checked by a professional electrician. Although you changed the elements there seems to be something tripping out the oven for some reason.

I would have stopped here.

It could be in the cable that is running back to the fuseboard. Is the cable strong enough for the oven (6 square) Maybe you need to get the whole load that the house is drawing to make sure that you are not overloading your fuseboard/elcb Board.

Single ovens run off 13A sockets. Cookers (dual ovens) require a separate RCD protected circuit to the consumer unit. We don't even know what cooking kit the OP has actually! What do you mean by whole house load?
