The residual current circuit breaker trips when I turn on the fryer after prolonged storage

Question

Accepted Answer

This problem is often related to a current leak caused by moisture accumulated during prolonged storage.

Before concluding a permanent fault, try these checks:

Let the fryer dry: After long storage, moisture may have accumulated inside the electrical casing or the power cord (1 meter of cable). Leave the appliance in a dry, ventilated place for 24-48 hours before reusing it.
Check the cord and the socket: Ensure that the power cord (220-240 V) and the socket do not have visible moisture. Wipe them with a dry cloth.
Test on a circuit without a residual current device (optional): To diagnose, try plugging into a direct socket without a residual current device, if you have access for testing only. If the fryer works, the problem is indeed a leakage of insulation caused by moisture.
Retry after drying: Once drying is done, try turning it on again. The appliance should work normally (power 1800 W, rotary thermostat with indicator).

If the residual current device continues to trip after drying, this indicates a permanent internal insulation fault and the appliance should be inspected by a professional or replaced.
