Eslier Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Please do not do what you suggest !The cut out is tripping because there is a fault condition with your oven. This could cause the casing of the oven to become live and in such a circumstance it could kill you if you touched it. These cut out switches are there for a reason. You should either contact a deDeitrich authorised service centre or consider replacing the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
