Cooker causing Switch to trip

    Whenever we have our cooker on for a long period of time....cooking a chicken or a roast, the trip switch goes.
    We have been in the house for 5 years now but this has only begun to happen within the past few weeks.
    With Christmas dinner fast approaching, the wife is worried this may happen again.
    Any ideas what may be causing this......is it more likely to be a fault with the cooker or the electrics.

    From the info i have given, in your opinion is it a major problem or something which can be easily sorted. Dont fancy having to fork out a load of money this time of year.

    in our house, if we have a 2000 watt electric heater plugged into the same line as the electric cooker and we turn the cooker on, it will eventually trip the switch as the fuse is a low amp..

    cooker should be on its own circuit , that heater will draw nearly 9 amps on full , fuse for cooker is 32 amps

    sorry, should have said, it is a small table top oven / hob with 2 rings that you plug into a normal socket...

    Have a look at the cable that it fixed internally into the cooker.
    Is it a Siemens??
