[QUOTE="Luckyboy, post: 522222, member: 34072"] Hello I don't usually look at appliances but doing a favour for a friend. He has an Electrolux FQ63XE which is tripping his 30mA RCD after about 5 minutes of switching on - once warm, it'll trip immediately. He has replaced the temperature limiter which made no difference. I have brought it to my place to take it apart etc. over the weekend - I currently have it on my bench which is also 30mA RCD protected. I've turned it on and got it up to 200 degrees without my RCD tripping. (side note, my RCD is good and tested). I've then powered down, removed cables from both elements. Continuity for both elements is good, around 0.5 ohms Insulation resistance (element to earth) for lower element is good >200M ohms Insulation resistance for upper (dual) element to earth is 0.07 ohms, slowly increasing as it gets cooler. In my head this points toward an upper element replacement but I want some confirmation from others with more experience on appliances before I tell him to order one. Any reason my RCD isn't detecting the leakage but his was after a few minutes? [/QUOTE]
