Ariston Grill Element Insulation Breakdown

Oven trips the RCD or circuit breaker only when the grill is used.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Moisture inside grill element, Cracked grill element sheath, Grill wiring shorting to chassis

Safety first: Do not continue using the grill until the fault is resolved.

Visual inspection: Check the grill element for visible cracks or burn marks.
Insulation test: With the power off, disconnect the grill element and test the resistance between each terminal and earth. Low resistance indicates leakage; replace the element.
Drying: If the oven was recently steam-cleaned, allow it to dry for 24–48 hours and retest. If tripping persists, replace the grill element.
Check wiring: Inspect the grill wiring for contact with metal parts and repair as needed.
