[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 424571, member: 7"] As said previously, the RCD has nothing to do with too much power being used, but rather with a fault somewhere. Some test meters will cause some RCDs to trip while testing Zs, so this is not proof of a defective RCD, Also, it could be a different circuit causing most of the leakage(fault) and the cooker is merely the tipping point. Much more comprehensive testing is required, In short, a better electrician required, it just sounds like a massive upsell to me, How long has this 'electrician' been in trade for,? [/QUOTE]
