Ikea Oven FXZM6 Keeps tripping the electric

I will try and help with this problem Ikea Oven FXZM6 Pnc 852315215500

Hi Duncan,

Thank you for your question. Your IKEA oven is made by Whirlpool. While I couldn't get an electrical wiring diagram, I did find an exploded view of all the components in the cooker.

There is a very good video below to show you all the problems that can occur when an oven is tripping the electricity supply.

The Ohms reading you mentioned only shows if the element filament is in good condition. It won't tell you if it's leaking electricity to earth. For that, you'd need a mega or insulation tester, which is quite pricey.

I suggest a process of elimination. First, disconnect the cooker from the main supply. Then, disconnect one element at a time and reconnect the cooker to see if it trips. Often, it's the element on the function you're using that might be faulty.

For example, if you've selected the fan oven function, usually only the fan oven element heats up. Disconnect the fan oven element and cover the wires with insulation tape for safety. Reconnect the cooker to the main supply and turn it on. If it doesn't trip after 5-10 minutes, it might be the fan oven element causing the issue.

Also, check other elements by turning on different functions like grill or base element. Sometimes multiple elements may have combined earth leakage, tripping your RCD unit.

If you need any parts for your cooker, use your full model number and PNC number from the label you sent me. There’s a link to our European supplier who has these parts in stock.
