Beko wm5100w Tripping electric

[xsamx1987]

Hello all ok so this problem started today
It trips the a main ring and the main power breaker
No program was running at the time door open, only the power light is on
Sometimes it will trip the electric in a few seconds and other times it will take around a minute
I have changed the fuse and tested the heating element
Checked the wiring for burn marks
Looked for water leaks
Any ideas would be great full other then calling in a repair man

since the machine was effectively off when it trips I would look at the suppressor

unplug the suppressor so its either not in circuit or its the only thing in circuit to eliminate it

Hi Dave thanks for getting back to me
So I have tested that and the power stays on

I then taking in to mind what you said I tried disconnecting the motor the element and the sensor

Reconnecting 1 at a time and leaving for 5 min it’s still on at this moment I am running a wash cycle and the power is still on and it’s been washing for about 15 min

I am happy it’s working but I’m worried at the same time as a washing machine doesn’t trip the electric for no reason

Any ideas on why it’s working again

short answer no

trips can be caused by a lot of things basically its an earth fault and normally its motors or heaters.
can be condensation on motors or carbon dust
can be a faulty socket arcing on the switch or loose connection

if you unplugged it to remove the suppressor wires it might well be the socket
