Hi i have a ZANUSSI ZJD-1219 and its not turning on.
When ever i push the power button ON the Electrical circuit on the main switch board trips.
And when ever i go back and Switch the electrical switch on its does the same thing.
i have checked the fuse on the plug and its fine and also tried plugging into different power wall switch, it does the same thing, the electrical circuit trips all the time.Does anyone know what the problem is here????

You have a short circuit or insulation fault. You will need a decent multimeter or megger to isolate the component or wiring that is causing this, no one possible cause I’m afraid.

If it is tripping IMMEDIATELY you press the power button, then the fault is unlikely to be with a component that only starts up part-way through a programme cycle. e.g. the main motor isn’t switched on at the very beginning. Using this sort of logic you may be able to narrow down the fault a bit first by selecting different programmes. Given that it triggers the fault so early on, then it could be the control panel itself. Check the wiring connection tabs to the control panel and selector switch haven’t become bent and are shorting.
One thought – with the machine power button off – does it trip when you switch on the supply at the wall socket? If so it suggests a damaged power cable to the machine.

Or it could be the mains filter, or the main power pcb, or the door interlock or even the main motor, all of the above can be in circuit as soon as the start button is pressed.Unless the machine has been tampered with, had a serious OOB condition or been manhandled in any way the possibility of the wiring connections to the ‘control panel and selector switch’ becoming bent is remote in the extreme. :rolls:

These items are NOT in the circuit when the power button is off. If it trips before the machine power button is pressed, then the fault is most likely on the upside of that power button.
– I say most likely, because the power button is probably not a dipole so there could be a earth leakage on the neutral that would still be sufficient to trip a mains ELCB..

Maybe, but I have seen machines delivered from new where the spade connectors were bent, giving very little clearance such that the weight of cables bundled together was sufficient to cause a connection to bridge. And its an easy visual check to eliminate that possibility, however unlikely you may think it is.
