Evening all
We have a holiday place in Spain. It was empty for about 10 years when we bought it. The oven is a built in oven with a separate hob made by a company called Teka and is pretty much brand new (the previous owners bought the place, did a few bits and just never used it).
So, you turn the over on and it starts to heat up. After 5 minutes or so it trips the electrics for the house. Turn it off and on immediately and it trips the electrics immediately. Leave it to cool and you're back to it heating up for a bit and then tripping.
We're out there next week and I want to have a go at repairing it before I replace the whole lot. My investigation so far leads me to think that it's the element. Does this sound right?
Best regards
Andy
