indesit d63 tripping circuit breaker

[chewbacca]

hi,

have a 3 year old indesit d63. it is tripping the circuit breaker at the same point in each cycle on each program setting.

The program will start for approx 5 minutes then trip out, I think it is filling and emptying ok, but dont think it is getting hot.

Any ideas please

dont mind repairing myself if it is worth doing..

thanks

Re: indesit d63 tripping circuit breaker

It really depends on your skills with a meggar or multimeter. The heater is a known weak point on these machines. Please remove the mains plug before you have a poke around. If you don’t have access or know how with regard to the test equipment then try our link below to see if we have someone who can help.

ok, what value in ohms does a new element measure.

thanks

Re: indesit d63 tripping circuit breaker

ok,

measured at 28 ohms, which i would have said is fine for an element.

however discovered a pool of water which the pump looks like it is sitting in, possibly due to the filter being blocked and overflowing. will wait for it to dry it and see if any damage has occured.

Yes 28 Ohms is fine for element but has nothing to do with earth leakage, as Jim mentioned 😕
I dare say when motor drys out it will not trip (until the next time) they are known for flooding on a whim.
Same chassis as some – Diplomat,Teka,Ariston,CDA.
