Hi guys, hoping you guys can shed a little light on the reason for my washing machine tripping the RCD. After replacing the mains filter, checking and securing every cable and connection I could access yet it still trips. Usually after a few minutes into the cycle: 1spin, hot and cold cycles.
Not sure if this is relevant but I’ve noticed when I return it to its home under the work surface, pushing on the front causes it to make a strange beep?
Thankyou in advanced, after 4 hours today of repeatedly removing the hex nuts with a ridiculously large pair of pliers only to have it trip again is sent me round the bend
Hey Dave, thanks for your reply.
The washing machine will complete a cycle without any clothes in, only trips when there is something in the drum.
Cheers
could be a leak that only happens when there is clothes it. probably above the waterline so it only leaks when clothes splash water around
could be worn brushes ( if it has them) that spark more when there is a weight in
will move this ti the washer forum

Thanks Dave,
This model doesnt have any brushes and there appears to be no evidence of a leak.
electical tester shows the element to be working correctly… the machine is only around a year old
