    Hotpoint WF000 RCD tripping out

    When I went to it yesterday it would trip as soon as you switched it on from the plug. Megger insulation reading 999
    So I disconnected all external items motor, heater,ntc, pump, valves, pressure switch then connecting one at a time then switching it on, tripped when I connected the cold valve also the motor. Unplugged motor, megger reading on motor 999 plugged it back all works ok for now as this is the second call this week for same fault.
    1st call changed door lock worked for one wash then tripped.

    It’s got to be live to neutral? Fault but I can’t find it.
    Has anyone else had this fault, any help would be much appreciated

    the molded plugs can also fail & cause tripping, have been to a live/neut short this week on one, mains suppressor had failed

    I have fitted a lead and mains suppressor, still trips.
    I guess a short in wiring harness is all that’s left.
    All I’ve got to do is try and find it.

    Thanks for the help
