Hello Dave,
Did some checks hoping to find a problem?
Resistance between both brush wires terminals 1 & 2 ( in my case, black and grey wires ) = 4 ohm.
Resistance between winding wires terminals 3 & 4 & 5( in my case 3 wires RED terminal 3, blue terminal 4 and brown terminal 5 ) 3 & 4 = 1.4 ohms,, terminal 4 & 5 = 1.3 ohms, and terminals 3 & 5 =2 ohms.
Resistance between both heating element terminals 30 ohms.
All seems well, as you suggested removed and cleaned motor brushes with brake cleaner, didn’t seem that dirty,,, put It all back together and oddly everything works and no RCD tripping,, must admit I’m baffled by not finding something at fault but all’s well that ends well, many thanks for your reply and advise Dave It was much appreciated.
JohnHello Dave thanks for the replie,,when the motor was in the machine I removed the terminal block from the motor ( 7 wires ) and the seperate earth wire, turned the machine on and closed the washer door with no RCD trip and then pressed the button and a wash cycle started,, connect the terminal block and earth wire turn power on and shut the door it trips the RCD. Testing motor on work bench with mains power live, neutral ,and earth are connected,,, have I tested incorectly ?. afraid I don`t know what a insulation tester is.
