What's the possible fault?

Former Community Member

Hi everyone, I have a slight problem that hopefully someone can shed some light on. So my electric cooker fuse kept on tripping whenever I tried to turn it on using the selector switch, 

I noticed the bulb in the oven had blown, so I took it out and it started working for a few days before it started doing it again,

 I then replaced the bulb, and the oven started working again for a few days before it started tripping again. 

Ive noticed that my dishwasher doesn't switch on, and the cooker hood doesn't switch on either.

Is it possible for all 3 appliances to be connected to the same circuit as to why they aren't working, or could there be an electrical fault within the circuit.

Or could it just be the oven causing the problem. 

Any help will be much appreciated.

    You seem to have a tripping RCD. The faults you describe may be the straw on the camel's back and not caused by that particular appliance. A test of the circuits on a common RCD should determine the leakage current in mA of each circuit.
