Hello, I wonder if anyone can help with this puzzling problem...
I have a Kenwood range cooker CK404 with gas hob and two ovens, large (fan) and small, ten years old and reliable until now.
Suddenly, while using the main oven, the mains tripped out, and now this happens from the start. If I try the small oven instead, it starts to warm up but then this also trips after a few minutes.
My initial thought was that the thermostat is shorting to earth. But surely there are two thermostats - why should both develop the same fault at the same moment? The same applies to the two separate elements. Could the problem be completely different?
I live near Haslemere, Surrey in case any one can recommend a local repairer who could sort this out at reasonable cost.
Many thanks,
Alec.
