Falcon Electrical Short / Earth Leakage

Falcon range trips the household circuit breaker when the oven or a specific function is turned on.

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

Shorted heating element to chassis, Damaged wiring harness touching metal, Moisture ingress in terminal block or elements, Faulty control board

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Turn off power and unplug or isolate the range.

Identify function: Note which function (bake, grill, fan, hob) causes the trip.
Inspect element and wiring: For the affected function, check the element and its wiring for burn marks or contact with metal.
Insulation test (technician): A megohmmeter can be used to test insulation resistance between live terminals and earth.

Because of shock risk, internal fault-finding should be done by a qualified electrician or appliance technician.
