    Hi all, I have a newborn and been going through loads of washing but machine has just started tripping the RCD!

    I have tried running cold washes and it seems to work fine, however on hot washes it seems to trip the RCD. I just tried a hot wash on 90 degrees and tripped again after 10 mins.

    Been reading up and potentially a couple of issues with bushes or heating element?

    Could anyone recommend my first fix or a number of replacement parts to be on the safe side as I really need it back up and running.

    Also with the heating elements is it worth buying a non bosch replacement?

    Many thanks
    Matt

    unlikely to be brushes if its takign 10 mins to trip out, esp if its ok on cold/rise progs, unless theres moisture leaking from somewhere onto the motor or onto terminals or a component, so check that there are no holes around the rubber gasket that could leak onto the electrics or the door lock. so sounds like it may well be the heater circuit. this will include element, ntc, and the pcb module. heater element would be the first place to check tho. a continuity test with a multimeter is unlikely to show anything up however, because your rcd is tripping – you have a current leak to earth.

    this means to be sure which part has failed you should insulation test the major components of your bosch. this would normally require an engineer, or an electrician friend. if you dont wish to go down that route then id use a pattern part –

    and keep my fingers crossed, because to take a punt with the oem part costing nearly £60 with the p&p is a bit daft!

    Thanks for the quick response. I have pulled it apart and have ordered a copy replacement element. It was filled with grey gunk! Hoping it works!

    Cheers
