RE: Dishwasher Fault

["Nigel Giddings" <nigel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,



Is it the MCB on the ring main, probably a 32A maybe a 20A or 16A. Or is
it an RCBO which looks for current or earth leakage on just the one
circuit?



Or is it the RCD for the whole house (may exclude the lights)?



I suppose you can repeat the problem a couple of times? Are you sure it
is the dishwasher?



If it is an RCD or RCBO it may be that you have a high earth leakage
from somewhere else and the leakage from the dishwasher (which is in
limits) is enough to trip the leakage device.



If you can report back we can be sure of the cause...



Nigel

Well, it does automate the washing up!

Mine tripped the breaker - element appears to be OK (resistance, earth
leakage etc.) but breaker trips. I'm probably out of my depth with this,
but we don't have any appliance repair guys locally (Daventry) so I'd
appreciate any ideas you may have! Also replacement might be difficult
due to the way it is built in.

TIA,

Tim.
