An RCD tripping means there is an "earth fault" Most likely one of the elements has failed. You may have to disconnect 1 element at a time to determine which element. If you have a multi meter , you should be able to locate it (With the power DISCONNECTED) from one of the power wire terminals of the element to earth. Get an Oven tech or sparkie in who knows what he is doing.

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BOTTOM HEATING ELEMENT HAS BURNT OUT AND IS PROBLEY CAUSING A TRIP.

I have a u1421 with the same problem! I notice the fan doesnt run too well, sometimes it doesnt run at all, needs a prod to get it running. I suspect with no fan, that the element gets far too hot, and then starts to leak to earth, tripping the RCD. I'm gonna try buying a new fan motor - you should ckeck if your fan is running full speed OK.

It is quite possible that it is the oven or grill element that is causing the problem.
You need to test them with a meter, to determine if they are o/k.
If you have no meter, then disconnect each one in turn, and try it again, this should isolate the problem.
Hope this helps you.

It is either a faulty ring, or the regulator that controls it is faulty.
You really need a meter to test the ring with to be certain which part is faulty.
Hope this helps.

ISOLATE THE POWER TO THE APPLIANCE BEFORE OPENING
There are several electrical conponents that can cause an earth leakage, but usually there are temp control swithes shorting to earth, the internal of the componet brakes down and it is screwed to the metal chassis of the oven. When the temp gets too high this is ment to break connection, if it has went fauly it can pass current to earth causing your RCB to trip. Have a look to find the location it is usually a semi oval case with two terminals, you should have continuity through the two terminals as it is normally closed, check for impedance to the case with the component disconnected, is there is any conductivity, replace.
There are as I said before several things that can cause this, a faulty heating element is another, check them while you have the appliance open. Black Grey spots not carbon or food it should feel rough, or if not fully blown a small bulge on the metal. In order to do these test you will require a mulimeter, and some basic knowledge of electrics.
Hope this has been helpful
