After cleaning my Bosch oven it started tripping. I followed these steps exactly as explained in this video and it miraculously started working again. Thank you for sharing this very useful video. It saved me time, frustration and some unnecessary technician costs. Thanks!!!

My oven which has not been used for 5 years tripped the breaker when I started using it. Watched 3 videos including this one. Did exactly this except I didn't step the temperature up. I straight away put the temp at max, turned on the convection fan and rotisserie motor and left it on for 30 minutes. The oven worked without problem after that.

[@budakPancing]

You are the best! Saved me $160 (if that is the repair cost in 2024). My oven used a 3 pin plug instead of a wall mount switch. It makes it a lot easier for me, just remove the earth wire from the 3 pin plug and taped the earth wire outside the plug with electrical tape. So I skipped removing the oven step. SAFETY FIRST! ALWAYS. I tried heating up on 1st day, even though I able to heat up to MAX at 15min intervals, it still tripped. Realised that I only heat up the top element + fan only. Decided to try again with bottom element the next day. Tried again next day with both element + fan at 50C/15min interval until MAX. Then fix back earth wire and it works! My observation is the bottom element is the culprit with moisture. Heating only top element does not remove moisture on bottom element. Next time will heat the bottom first.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

That's right don't give up! I'm very proud of you!

[@rabiyahidayath312]

How to remove the earth wire from the plug and how to fix it again? Can u please explain in detail ? I too have this 3 pin plug and I don't have any idea

[@ABC-ed8cg]

My oven is also standalone on the counter. I realize built-in ones save more space! My contractor told me the oven releases heat better on the counter so it won’t spoil so fast but who knows moisture is the one killing it! There’s an electrocution risk when earth wire is removed. Is there a safer way? I have anxiety just watching the video. One may accidentally touch the oven.. Even wearing rubber gloves may not rid me of my anxiety..

I put a portable electric fan heater inside the oven and ran it on high heat for an hour and after this I was able to use the oven on a low heat without tripping. I then used the oven on the low setting for a while until I could increase the heat. Fixed the issue for me and much less dangerous

[@richardchee2454]

I had this problem many years ago when the oven was newly installed and hardly used. When the temperature is set too high, it will trip each time after running for about 5 to 10 mins. Because the trip do not take place immediately, one may try using your method of driving out moisture without disconnecting the ground wire. Simply set the temperature very low at start, eg 50°C or at a point which does not trip for longer than 30mins. Run it longer at each interval of say 30mins to 45mins. Then bump up by 25°C each time until it goes to max °C. I suspect it may still work if you just max at 100°C or slightly higer (above boiling point of water) The whole process will take longer but its safer. This can work only if the oven do not trip immediately after turning on. Did this before. It worked for me. Oven running good since then.

[@philvdk6540]

Just tried richardchee2454's method because my oven tripped out within 2 min after not using it for 12 months. Started with 50 degrees C on Fan Forced setting and gradually raised temp by 25 degrees C successfully every half hour for 2 hours without tripping. Stopped at 200 degrees C. So far, so good. Thanks.

thanks for this helpful video! Followed the steps to try fixing my Smeg oven, the first time round oven tripped again after I re-earthed it, only then I realised it was on "eco" mode. Oops! Did it a second time with "fan assist" mode and now it's ok. Helped a friend try to fix their Bosch oven - learnt from my previous lesson and made sure I set to "fan mode", however, the oven tripped again after re-earthing. My guess is that Bosch's "fan mode" for this particular model only uses a heating element at the fan, and so it didn't remove moisture from the upper/lower main coils. May have to try again! Wondering if its common that some oven models have "fan mode" that don't make use of the main coils?

Just wonder disconnect the earth wire as what you shown vs from the switch/plug, what made the different that still causes tripped? 2. Nonetheless, i keep repeating the same after tripped, the oven heated up. I was about to give up, rewired the earth wire to the switch and try again. Apparently it works fine.

[@Wangsium]

Why will the casing be live when you remove the earth wire?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Thank you for your question! Usually this is indicative that the coil which is live has shorted to the case which is grounded. The RCCB detects the current from the case through the ground wire resulting in the DB trip which protects the user from an electric shock. Hence removing the ground removes the safety and the case becomes live since it is shorted.

[@anhoi6969]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan In your video, even after heating up the oven to max, the case was still ‘live’. Does this mean, even after drying the coils, it is still shorted to ground but just not as much for it to be detected by the RCCB?

[@ethanf.6848]

The real question is, why should this be a common problem? Ovens are known to be installed internationally, US, Europe or elsewhere. Is it due to the Asian practice of installing the hot stove over the oven that somehow resulted in condensation of water droplets on the inner metallic surface of the oven, where the wiring is located?

Will this method work if my oven trips ground fuse after 15 minutes of being on

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

you can try. works 70% of the time

[@jacobstech1777]

what's the voltage of the casing when doing this method?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

It varys depending on the fault. But i don't have the number off hand

[@akes4995]

Why would the casing become live when ground is disconnected? Equal potential? Or because of the leakage current thats in oven?

[@whitefields5595]

the case goes live, but the connection to earth causes it to trip after a few microseconds. Disconnect the earth wire stops this happening. He's overriden the safety to get the oven to dry itself out@@akes4995

[@Sorostes]

Why disconnect the ground wire . What’s the theory ?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Well if there is a short to the case, there would be current flowing through the ground. The RCCB detects the difference in current and trips, as this is a condition which indicates a fault. By removing ground, the RCCB will not detect this difference in the ground wire and won't trip. This enables you to run the heating / drying cycle in the oven

[@alvina69]

For anyone attempting to fix a tripping fault with your oven, please don’t do what this guy has done. Never ever disconnect a protective conductors and switch the power back on. Hire a proper electrician who will have the right equipment to diagnose the issue without putting yourself or your family in danger.

He clearly putting warning sign and alerted the audiences in the video.

Is it okay, if I don't have a contactless test pen? I have the normal ones.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Yes it's fine. Just poke all surfaces before u touch them
