keeps blowing? trip on consumer unit

[alanshep]

helo all, my washing machine-hotpoint first edition 1000- keeps blowing(incorrect term no doubt) the trip switch on the consumer unit/fuse box as soon as its switched on.I was wondering if this is a fault common to these machines to a certain component or could it be one of many things? sorry its a bit vague but i dont want the bloke who will come to fix it(WHEN he turns up!) :rolls: giving me a load of rubbish about this and that being wrong with it if its gona be cheaper to buy a new machine
many thanks for any replies

Re: keeps blowing? trip on consumer unit

The list whilst not endless could as you say be many things, motor, door lock, heater, wiring, pump etc,etc.

If you do not know a local engineer, try the link in my sig to see if we have someone who can help. It would be impossible to second guess the cost of a repair for the reasons I have already given you.

thanks for your reply-i should have said its rented property so the repair will be down to landlord anyway but going on previous problems we have had (bit of a slum landlord,they insist on using the same plumber for example whether available or not!) and seeing as its going to be an electrician not an appliance engineer they send i was just trying to see what i could expect
