Hotpoint dishwasher keeps blowing fuse

[Geoff1957]

Hotpoint make and model: Hotpoint FDYF 11011 P S/No. 312165559.
I inherited this machine in working order but had to transport it 80 miles in the back of an estate car before installing it, I am not aware of any damage during transportation or installation.
40 – 60 seconds into a cycle the dishwasher stops functioning and blows the plug fuse. Inspection of the inside shows that the machine has drained some water out and has begun to fill. I assume therefore that the mains water in and the water drainage are ok and that there must be another cause for the blown fuse.
I would appreciate any help/suggestions thank you.

well the first thing to ask, is the fuse correct 13Amp Brown in colour ?

Hi Dave,
No, the blown fuse was 3 amp which i replaced with another 3 amp.

then that’s why use a 13A should be fine

I will replace 3 amp for 13 amp and let you know the result. Thank you for your help.

Good morning,
The problem was indeed an incorrect fuse. The appliance is now running. Thank you for your help.
