[QUOTE="mecheng46, post: 496364, member: 32476"] I am looking to find out why this brand new oven was tripping the mains. Was there a problem with his mains or is there a problem on the oven? That's what I am looking for. only thing i experienced was the fan motor started spinning and after a minute or mains supply tripped, same thing on both top and bottom ovens, that's it. The more i think about it the more i believe that it was possibly his circuit breaker and that it was under-rated (20a instead of 30a), that's why it tripped after a minute, on both ovens same amount of time. I took the oven of his hands with the plan that it will be a faulty element or a fan motor, change it and use the oven to replace mine (same model, brand etc) It's unlikely to be both the top and bottom ovens faulty on a brand new unit, also i won't expect it to run for a minute before it trips. Saying all these, i am not an expert on this kind of stuff so i might be wrong. [/QUOTE]
