[QUOTE="binky, post: 553197, member: 490"] it may well be the RCD is failing, they don't last forever, and Marbo is not a quality make. With multiple trippings they can become over sensitive, which really doesn't help. I also have a heat pump tumble drier, but have had no issues with it. However, I also have a full RCBO board as per Special's suggestion above. I used to get nuisance tripping every Xmas morning, which is about the only time my wife ever used the second oven on our cooker. In short, ovens not in use can get a bit of damp around the heating elements, which lead to xmas mornings being rather stressful! Like yourself I used to have a single RCD shared across multiple circuits, Xmas has been very peaceful since converting my board to RCBOs :) [/QUOTE]
