    Hi all – I’m seeking some guidance on an odd issue.

    I have a JLDWS1204, which developed a habit of splurging huge amounts of rinse aid out, but was otherwise fine. Eventually I got around to buying a replacement soap dispenser – an original AEG part – (not from UKWHitegoods I will admit). Fitted it, ran a quick wash – all fine – everyone happy.

    That is, until we tried to use a normal wash cycle, at which point it trips the rcd several times – it will eventually complete if you keep resetting it. The soap tablet is dispensed fine, the water heats, the pumps circulate and evacuate – but it trips with around apprx 85 minutes remaining and several times afterwards. Also, the rinse aid light never went out despite adding a load of rinse aid – I never got to see if it was actually dispensing properly.

    Not being able to find an issue I put back the old one, and normal service has been resumed.

    Can anyone explain what might have been happening and why? I can’t believe there is anything in the soap dispenser which could cause an RCD trip.

    Thanks Matt

    there does not seem to any tech info on this
    but
    it does list it as a kit so did you fit everyting ?

    also why did you not dispense with rinse aid and just use 5 in one tablet ?
    if you are using all in one tablets you must not use rinse aid as you are double dosing and it can cause excessive foam
