Bosch sgv57t03gb trips breaker

[alexh]

Hi, another fault with this old Bosch dishwasher. You’ve previously helped me replace the suppressor. This morning the machine tripped the main circuit breaker when i tried to start it. Now it either trips immediately when turned on or occasionally will power up then trip if a program is started.

​​​​​​Any ideas on potential causes?

chnge socket and try again

There’s a little bit of water in the base. Salty build up near the motor. Looks like it might have been leaking a little bit? Can i disconnect the heater and pump to check if they’re causing the trip?

[alexh]

When the white and purple wires are disconnected from the motor the machine no longer trips the breaker. So, i guess a new motor is required? Is there any chance that if i dry out the motor, clean off the salt and stop further leaks that it will work?

motor is still available but at £167

maybe a used one off ebay otherwise its time to change

Ouch, yes that’ll probably write it off. Thanks Dave.
