    Powered on and working moments before I put my laundry in it, then it simply would not turn on. I have tried plugging it into another socket. It’s not plugged into a power extentsion, it’s plugged right into the wall socket

    Yesterday, I had to go into my home fusebox to reset the fuse switch for the plug it’s connected to, twice. So I’m thinking it’s related to that. Can anyone offer any ideas on what the problem could be and how I might repair it?

    Could it be as simple as replacing a fuse?

    Check or/and replace the plug itself if a moulded one and should be a 13 amp fuse. Duff on and off switch if fitted and possible burnt wires to it – you do not give the model number, Aquarius is just a series covering loads of models. Suppressor problem or wire fallen off it are 3 good places to start. And yes if the trip pinged off is no doubt related.. plus presumably the machine`s drum is not flopping around in fresh air or was not noisy the last time u used the thing if so drum cuts through heater as the drum drops which will certainly cause the machine to go to earth and keep pinging off the trip – check the drum first before doing anything
    Anything you check make the machine is unplugged !!
