Washing machine short circuit electrics help please?

My washing machine started this morning but about 20 mins into cycle it tripped the master trip switch and now whenevefr i plug it in it does the same





I have recently had my fusebox moved and my kitchen rewired, could this be the problem, even though none of the other appliances are short circuiting and I have used the machine 5 times since then?





Also I have moved my washing machine out of the room and back again could this be the problem even though I have used it 5 times since then?Washing machine short circuit electrics help please?
You mentioned that the washer tripped the MAIN breaker. At first glance it seems that the total amperage used is greater than the rating of the main breaker. If you have ten 30 Amp breakers, each handling 28 Amps, that is 280 Amps total usage. If the main breaker is a 250 Amp breaker, then it trips.


You can buy an Ammeter for this kind of test, but it might be better to call in a professional. The quick answer; reduce the total load on you system, you save a lot of money that way.Washing machine short circuit electrics help please?
It's not short-circuiting. You've just had a re-wire; ERGO: It's an RCD switch.





It only occurs when the thing is plugged in.


Therefore it's a damaged flex or damp in the washer, or a component is creamcrackerd..


What is it doing 20mins into the cycle; about to start a spin? That indicates a motor/pump fault.
you said you moved the washer you could have pulled a wire off the motor or the water valves. unplug and look around inside the washer you will see a burnt mark if the wire is touching the case easy to see. yes things like this happen all the time.
This suggests that the machine has developed a fault. It might be something simple like a loose wire but I'd recommend calling in a washing machine repairman.
