My old oven heating element failed recently and i have just installed the replacement part. The part number is exactly the same as previous and the wattage (2000 watts) is the same.
However, every time i switch it on, it keeps tripping out the my house fuse box.
Thanks Tony. Thats interesting because the new element had two contacts for the earth whereas the old element just had one contact for the earth. The oven just has one earth wire so i connected it to just one of the earth contacts. Could this be something to do with it?
