[QUOTE="Fly Moose, post: 506053, member: 33470"] The only reason I mention this was My fridge was on the way out and it did a similar thing when our lass used the oven. I concur with the assessment, but I was explaining as a trial and error for now. Leakage is getting rare in most properties with new technology, Most leakage is Kitchen based. A combination of items also trigger a trip as said. Yes a wild goose chase indeed. The other option I would have tried as a house holder(Not an electrician) turn off the other circuits on the side of the RCD leaving the kitchen circuit on. Then try again with full power on Microwave. Then do each circuit at a time see what happens. [/QUOTE]
