When i press the start button the washing machine it blows the electric trip switch any ideas?

Check the plug and fuse if this doesn't remedy the problem you will need it fixed by a pro but before you do that, get the instructions and look up trouble shooting, in-case it is something very simple!When i press the start button the washing machine it blows the electric trip switch any ideas?
Your trip should be 32amp and your plug fuse for your washer should be 13amp (maximum) so really your plug should go first.


if this is not the case then it could possibly be the RCD that is tripping which means it could be an earth fault. an rcd is like a trip but ussually slightly bigger and has a little test button on it, If it is this then there is possibly a fault with the earthing of your washer.When i press the start button the washing machine it blows the electric trip switch any ideas?
You have a short circuit somewhere in the washing machine. Have a repair man look at it, also plug the machine into a different plug and try it. If it still blows the circuit, then there is something wrong with the machine, if it runs then there is something wrong with that circuit.
Make sure there aren't too many outlets running off that braker if so, maybe try unplugging something. It is probably a short or bad fuse (if u have a fuse box) though, try to talk to a few different electricity companies and see what they think w/o looking at it and compare prices. if they all have similar ideas maybe try looking that up, you might be able to take care of it yourself, or know someone who can help w/o spending the money! Good luck!!
unplug the wall plug and check its ok ie the wires are connected correctly and the correct fuse is in there, 13amp i believe.


if it isnt that call a repair man as its not worth messing about with electriics far too dangerous.
short circuit do you have ,on main switch board,


r.c.d. (earth leakage).


circuit breaker .


may be water condensation


or cockroaches
Power goes through the timer then the water level switch then to the water solenoid valves. One of these has a dead short to ground. Good luck and God Bless.
Some kind of short or earth leakage, possibly the heating element or motor windings.





Get an electrician involved.
you have probably got a splash of water on the solenoid,try drying with a hair-dryer where you turn the dial.
