Default Re: Creda Freestanding electric cooker. 1970s

Our Creda of the same vintage has removable sides in the oven. When taken out the elements are exposed. Could you do this and run a fan heater against the elements one at a time?

If that does not work, maybe disconnecting one element might reduce the leakage sufficiently to make the remaining element work. Heating the oven with that should drive the moisture out. It worked when I replaced one element in mine with one that had been stored in the loft for ages which tripped the RCD.

In nearly 40 years of marriage the good old Creda has been the only oven we have owned!
