Have I ruined my dishwasher?

[jools182]

I was cleaning the dishwasher yesterday

I took out all the mesh filters in the bottom and was cleaning them in the sink

While I was doing this I put the dishwasher on a hot wash whule it was empty

After some time my RCD circuit breaker tripped

I opened the dishwasher and it was full of hot water in the bottom

I then thought maybe it was something to do with the filters being left out

I put the clean filters back in and the dishwasher finished its cycle ok

I ran it again on a full cycle empty just to check and it was fine

A few hours later I filled it full of dishes and put it on a full cycle. The machine hadn’t finished when I went to bed but I woke up this morning and the RCD had tripped again. The dishwasher looked like it had finished its cycle. I also think it finished as my mobile phone was fully charged and that takes 3 hours, I put it on to charge when I went to bed.

I tried the dishwasher this morning and I think its blown the fuse in the plug

Its a Bosch Exxcel

Re: Have I ruined my dishwasher?

first it not you. You can leave filters out and it wont damage machine

you need a qualified engineer to look at machine and find the short. until that is found you wont know whether its fixable or not
