Default Re: 1970's Tricity Viscount cooker

A tip on radiant elements. Heat them up in the oven for 15 minutes or so before fitting them. They seem to attract moisture when stored unused which will trip the RCD as soon as they start to get warm when used. Once cleared it doesn't build up again.

I have had this happen several times with my Creda Cavalier with elements I have stored myself in a living room cupboard and with ones bought "new" and fitted.
