I will try and help with this problem Kenwood CK230 cooker

Good afternoon​, this will most probably be one of the elements, there may be a thermostat slightly open letting power through to the element and the element has got leakage to Earth above the 30 milliamps on the fuse boards​. If the resistance to Earth is greater than this it will cause your RCD on your fuse board to blow.
I suggest you either get someone with a mega (insulation tester) to find which element is causing the problem or you could individually disconnect each element and try to isolate which one it is, I have added a video below to show you how to test elements and also listed the elements that fit your model of appliance Kenwood  CK230​, I hope this helps you.
