I decided to remove the white plastic flexible hose / exhaust from the rear of the machine to eliminate this – but the filter light still comes on. I have had the drum out and removed the 3 screws to enable me to lift black plastic cover (this has 2 wires going to the air flow sensors inside – I think that’s what they are ?) from motor area to connector at rear – this is the bit where the white plastic flexi hose / exhaust connects to the back of the machine. I can see its all clear and up to where the door filter that lifts out and the airflow seems much stronger than it has been for a very long time. Any ideas pls ?

Further update and good news to boot. I found the heater and removed the power plug and hey presto the wash cycle now completes without tripping the RCD. Clive hats of to you ! you had it sussed in your 1st paragraph, you obviously know your stuff so many thanks, I will order a new heater ordered, are they very easy to replace as it does look very tight in there is anything likely to give me a belt in that area ?? and do you have a part number or can I go with t
his link I found ?

Hi Clive

Well I have taken both covers off and had a good look with an inspection light and it all looks bone dry. But it does seem to fail at the same point every time which is when it sounds like its pumping water and you can see water moving around in the plastic bottle on the left hand side, is it at this point that the heater would kick in ? and as you said in your 1st response that this is the most common fault? Can you advise where the heater is located as I cant see it and was expecting it to look like elements in a kettle type thing, and can you please send me a link for a new one. But if I can locate it and unplug it to isolate the heater would the cycle go further which would prove that the heater is tripping the RCD ? Thanks again, Dean

ok I understand Clive, Many thanks. I am qualified pc engineer so understand all of the basics when it comes to working with electrics. But have enough to go on to take this one further thanks to your help. I will let you know how this one pans out or give you a shout if I need more clues, hopefully it will be something simple for a change – Thanks for your help thus far !

Re: Electrolux dishwasher mohdel number ESL6115 which popped

Thanks for your swift response. I will investigate tomorrow evening. Is it best to strip down the machine on the RH side 1st and look for anything obvious around wiring and the heater ?? Not sure where to look for the top arm leaking ? especially where you say it meets the tub ? is it best to work back from the heater to see logically which tube is leaking ?

Hope this doesn’t sound daft ?

If it is a loose nut I assume that I can tighten it up or if a split tube where can I get a new tube from ?

Thanks
Dean.
