Took a while to find this one.

TT supply split board 100mA s Type at front end.

100mA rcd tripped out, covering..... lights / cooker / immersion, customer reset & rcd stayed in but called me to check out the rcd.

Tested all circuits & all ok.

Energised each circuit rcd stayed in ok.

All light work, immersion is fine , Fan oven fires up ok.

Scratching my head now so as a last resort I dismantled the back end of the oven & found this

The element has blown right out, leaving the element OC but not shorted to earth.

Would only have come to light when the customer tried to heat the oven from cold.

Chatted to the customer & they were using the oven lastnight but didnt think that was the cause due to the fan still operating & the oven still being hot.
