Hotpoint EW92 oven trips breaker when I turn it on?
I have just installed the cooker and when I turn it on at the switch my breaker trips. I double checked the wiring and it's fine. I disconnected it and re-installed my old cooker and it works as normal. Any ideas? Could it be something to do with power consuimption at the consumer unit?
you can try dry them out sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.hair dryer or heat stripper on element might help dry them out and bring the insulation value up above the trip switch threshold

"has the cooker been stood somewhere damp?
elements can cause faults like this as they get damp and cause an earth leakage fault"
According to the seller it was tested on 16th and has been in the shop since then.
