I have an Ariston AFA250 dishwasher. At first the the latch on the door would not lock, when I had a look I found the rocker switch to be burnt and preventing the latch from locking properly. I removed the switch checked it and found that it was open circuit all the time. To check the dishwasher I shorted the wires and closed the door, it seemed to work ok so I got a new switch and replaced it. But now when you turn it on it trips the house main circuit breaker. Does anyone have any ideas, or even a wiring diagram so that I can have a better idea? I am an aircraft electrician by trade so hopefully will be able to figure it out with the right info.
Re: Ariston AFA250, problems with power tripping.
The only cure is to be based on long and careful inspection with the door panel fully removed. Obviously a wire is now in the wrong place touching an earth point I expect. An Insulation Test Meter is the correct way of establishing the fault, beyond that and for certain liability reasons I cannot say more, other than suggesting you contact a local engineer to take a look for you. Try our database link in that regard if you like: –

P.S. No wiring diagrams available I’m afraid 🙁
