Hi,

A hoover washer dryer which has not been used for over 6 weeks was used yesterday and whilst trying to wash clothes it appeared to trip electricity after 15 minutes, I re-attempted this again a few times and now it appears to trip after 5 minutes.

Can someone please advise things I could check to resolve the problem / establish what the problem is?

It was working fine over 6 weeks ago and nothing has been moved or has changed.

Thanks,
G

Wash heater possibly?

You’d need to test different components for earth leakage to find the culprit for sure and tell us the model number so we can see what it is.

Hi,

I don’t have access to the machine at the moment but will do later in the week. I think it’s a WB120, can you please advise further based on that model – although all 4 models should be very similar?

Thanks
