    I have a hot point wmf740 washing machine and it keeps intermittently tripping my circuit breaker. I have opened to back to see if there are any wires or springs that are worn or have come loose or getting caught and there is not, there is also no signs of water leakage at all. I have narrowed it to the motor as just before the circuit trip there is a rubbery/plastic smell then there’s a flash from the motor location then trips the circuit. Again there’s no external signs of damage, burning, melting, cables caught or frayed ect.
    I dont understand as the motor works fine then with no pattern there’s a flash and it stops.
    Also i dont understand were the burning rubbery smell is coming from as the belt looks fine.
    Has any body got any ideas and is this a simple fix.
    Im a Much appreciated newbie. 😐

    Moved you to correct forum. 😉

    Unlikely to be a simple fix, sounds like a duff main motor. 🙁
