Can you attach a photo please?

Maybe one of the domestic sparkies can give you better info than me, it's not the kind of thing I usually work on so I'm not so familiar with it.
I agree Andy. Enegy regulators are usually used on spiral plates which is why my 1st thought was that the switch is perhaps arcing causing the intermittent tripping. I have given a list of possible faults which can all be tested for with an insulation tester. One cannot pinpoint the cause without actually testing the stove.
