    I have posted this problem before but then it was an intermittent problem and I couldn’t define whether it was electrical or dishwasher problem. It now appears that it is a fault on the dishwasher. On the “normal” programme it washes for about half an hour, water gets hot then when it should drain it trips the RCD. Sometimes I can get it to finish the cycle when I switch back on but now as soon as I switch the socket on it trips again. Have spoken to Zanussi who say it will cost at least £112.99 for a one off repair. I have now emptied the water out through soaking it up with sponges. Any ideas what could cause this?

    unfortunatly there is no simple answer. your machine has an earth fault. as an engineer i would use a meter to check for earth faults on various components
    most likely is

    1 leak (water spaying or leaking on electrics )
    2 heater
    3 motor
    4 other (covers other components, broken wiring etc)

    hope it helps. i would look for a leak first

    Many thanks for your help. I think will have to consider a new dishwasher in view of age of it.
