    Just got home from a nice morning out on my day off to find my main RCD has tripped in the house.After a quick bit of fault finding found the dishwasher is causing this.I have had no problems with the machine after 2 years of use. Whirpool ADG7550 type

    Is there any pointers before i start to take the covers off,and the thing is integrated so im entering the complete unknown here.
    so much for a nice day chillin out.lol

    Heater or a good soaking from a leaking circulation motor can cause this. Both underneath, so I’m afraid it will have to come out.

    Power off before going in, please.

    Presumably heater then. If the heater came on without water because of the split hose, it’s life expectancy is usually seconds.

    THIS is the one you need.
