If your cooker repeatedly trips the electrics, it indicates a serious electrical fault. Ignoring this can lead to fire, damage, or appliance failure.

Common causes

Short circuits

Damaged wiring, loose connections, or faulty components can create a short circuit, causing immediate trips.

Faulty heating elements

Electric elements that leak current to the casing can trip fuses or breakers.

Repair costs range from £90 to £200.

Control board issues

Faulty boards may draw abnormal current, causing repeated trips.

Moisture inside the cooker

Condensation or spills can short internal wiring and components.
