    hi all

    My beko wm5100w is tripping electrics and i am not so sure what is wrong with it. I have checked the heating element with a multimeter and its giving a reading of 28. The carbon brushes are nearly new. The machine itself is mint. I am a bit unsure how to tackle this problem. I am extremely good with my hands but need some help with this. the electric trips as soon as the plug has been plugged in.

    Follow the path….

    Socket/house electrics… mains cable… mains filter… on/off switch…

    You need to have a megger to test individual parts

    Thank you. I do not have a megger. But electrics trip soon as its plugged in. I will look at the mains filter and socket etc. The heater is giving a reading of 28 using a multimeter i guess this means its ok.

    The heater is eliminated anyway as there’s no power to it at all until the machine starts to run, since you’re not even getting there it’s something in the chain before that point.

    I would strongly recommend that you get someone in to do a proper insulation test on the appliance
