    Up until yesterday our washing machine was fine.

    My partner turned it on and it tripped the power in the house. Tried again and same thing.

    I had a look this morning and it turned on but as soon as the motor was to start the power tripped again.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Hi Mark,

    We’d need a make and model number to start to help I’m afraid.

    Might have been better in a separate thread but the only way forward is to check all the components and visually inspect the wiring etc. For this you will need a meggar or multimeter and the ability to use it correctly, with the mains plug removed of course.

    Thanks Jim.

    In the end i called a local repair shop, and he sent a man round to look at it and he said the protector needed replacing. He charged £35 for five minutes work and he was reluctant to let me see what needed replacing. . Is it about the right price for this type of repair?

    Somehow I get the feeling I’ve paid over the top for this!

    If he fitted a door lock for £35, you got a bargain.
