Logik L714WM17 Tripping RCD

[clint1974]

Hi All

I’ve had a quick read of the forum’s and the most common washing machine problems. I have this washing machine which i have fitted a new heating element too, its the genuine part from partmaster after learning the hard way trying to fit a supposed replacement from ebay which did not fit. After testing it a couple of times it seems to trip out the electrics seems to be after starting a cycle about 10-20 mins in, it will then continue once restored no problem.

I did get some leakage after fitting the 1st element which being incorrect worked its way loose, i then ordered and fitted correct part and now have this issue. Do you think it may be just down to this ?

its odd that it trips and then goes ok after a reset. if you have a fault you would think it would not change and trip again

if your machine will run without the heater, try disconnecting it and make wires safe
then run and see if it trips

Curry`s Logik L714WM17. The correct element via Curry`s Partmaster website is 3648498pm 1800watt length 227mm end to end including hub thickness. When you buy this the part should have the manufacturers part number listed too on the packet, you can then X ref this against on the Partmaster site to 3648498pm to make sure..
Question: On a lot of Chinese made machines the 2 wires that go to the thermistor ( an electronic thermostat ) are not as one plug in connector block ( as you would find with, say, a Hotpoint for example ) but are just two separate wires with heatshrink over the female tags AS ARE usually the 2 heater wires. So the question is if this is the case ?? have you got the wires that went to the heater terminals X`d with one or two that go to the thermistor??
It would be very rare that you have ended up with a dud new element.
Other thing it could be, just by sheer coinicidence ( which is fairly common ), is worn out motor brushes sparking.
