    Went to this machine yesterday. Its tripped the electrics a couple of times after about 40 minutes into a programme.
    It was failing on the pac tester.
    When I disconnected the mains filter it still failed.
    I’ve ordered a new mains filter. But can somebody tell me why it trips the electrics 40 minutes into the programme. Usually with mains filters it trips almost straight away.

    Motor, heater or wiring harness touching cabinet probs? Have you checked these items individually or just plugged in via a PAT?

    would be inclined to think its a hot heater with the internal wire either warping due to being hot and arcing to the outer case or the heaters got a leak causing the chalk insulator to get damp and eventually short out.

    had quite a few of these with that problem every one was the moulded plug arcing internaly, cut of the plug rewired a new one and never had a recall.
