Oven trips the circuit when it is switched on
-
Ljgordon on Jul 25, 2016Two things: The circuit breaker is old and weak. The oven is drawing too much power probably as a result of a short. I The short could be in one of the heating units in the oven. Call an electrician.Helpful Reply

Bill teague on Jul 25, 2016By all means call an electrician, depending on the age of your home the wiring isn't up to grade for more current appliances. If you resort to a larger breaker you could start a fire.Helpful Reply

Bobbie Littlefield on Jul 25, 2016If you own, your homeowners insurance should be called in (normally a co-pay but they take care of it). Rent? Call the manager. No insurance? Get 3 electrical quotes and get informed.Helpful Reply

Rita Botha on Jul 26, 2016Just a question, Andy: was the oven perhaps cleaned before it started causing the trips? If so, It could very well be that moisture has gotten into the connections. If your oven will switch just on without turning the temperature high, you could try leaving it on for about an hour for moisture to evaporate. Then try turning the temperature up to see if it holds. If you are lucky and the cause is moisture, your problem should be sorted. If not, your only answer woul be to get a professional to sort it out.Helpful Reply

D roach on Jul 26, 2016Your electrics are doing what they are designed to do. The oven has a fault. Don't call an elegant trivial as he will just diagnose it as a problem with your oven and charge you for privilege. If you need to call anyone call someone who knows ovens ie.

Jsd6538877 on Jul 26, 2016Did it just start happening? Is the stove on a dedicated 220 v circuit? (Most are.) If so, you've gotten the right answer. Something is overloading that circuit and the breaker is doing what it should. You need an electrician. If for some reason it's on a 110 v circuit, turn off all other appliances on that circuit when using the oven, esp. if you've just added a new appliance.Helpful Reply

Jennifer Thompson Marciniak on Jul 26, 2016Could be the appliance is on its way out or something is wrong with the outlet. Too much electricity is running through the line, causing the breaker to turn off so as not to cause a fire. A bad appliance that is still working can draw too much power and cause the outlet to over heat. Have you noticed an increase in your electric bill; this is a signal that something is wrong with an old appliance but I have seen it happen with a new appliance that was defective (it caused the house to catch fire, so please have a licensed electrician check it out... this is not a job for a do it yourself friend .Helpful Reply

Charly on Jul 30, 2016Well, if you know the problem is in the appliance then call a repairman for your particular brand. It's obvious that for some reason your appliance is pulling too much power and causing the breaker to trip. Is this the only thing on that particular line? If not, try eliminating them one by one to see which one is making the oven trip the breaker. It may not be the oven at all but something else that is coming on at the same time as your oven. Good luck. Hope you find a solution to your problem.Helpful Reply
