Does anyone know how you gain access to the elec element of the above stove. I suspect that the element is faulty and needs replacing but just how you get to it is another thing. Just for the record I am an qualified electrician so not problems there it's just finding the way into the thing.I suspect that the whole stove top hinges from the rear but not sure how that happens and do not want to get on the wrong side of Mrs briche.
Any Information would be most welcome
Thanks
Brian

Thanks hako for the link. My element is faulty or the wiring to it because it trips the ELCB in the van and the power pole. So I need to get at it to sort out the problem. Unfortunatly the paper Orkney oth the stove does not help. May have to contact makers. Thanks anyway

Yea do have a meter so will do a test when I can get to it. Checked the switch with no probs there so it's my guess that it's the element. It trip the ELCB every time it's switched on so it's my guess. It's just a matter of getting at it.
I'll post when I find out how you get to it and what was wrong.
At the momentit the main problem is getting axcess to it
Thanks for comments
Brian

You are an Electrician. Do you have a multi meter or a Megger to test the element ?
