Range trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when the oven or a cooktop zone is turned on.

Safety: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Disconnect the appliance and investigate before reuse.

• Identify circuit: Note whether the trip occurs when using the oven, a specific cooktop zone, or randomly. This helps locate the faulty circuit.
• Inspect elements: Check oven and cooktop elements for visible damage. Test each element for continuity to earth with a megohmmeter or multimeter; any low resistance to earth indicates a fault.
• Check wiring: Remove rear and bottom panels to inspect wiring looms for chafing, burn marks, or moisture. Repair or replace damaged sections.
• Dry moisture: If the appliance was recently cleaned or flooded, allow it to dry thoroughly before retesting.
• Component replacement: Replace any faulty Hotpoint-Ariston element or filter module causing leakage. If unsure, consult a qualified technician.
