Hi Tim,



Saying that the dishwasher went faulty to me is a bit like telling a car
mechanic that you have a car that doesn't' work and asking what the problem
is. ;)



What machine is it? How old is it? Did you notice when it tripped the
breaker?

Nigel,

OK, I am a bit of an ignoramus when it comes to all things electrical.

My main board is like this http://www.memonline.com/mem2.html#1

And the thing that tripped was the small red breaker left of centre. It
left
us with no power to sockets, but lights were OK and it was repeatable -
With
the dishwasher left "as was" it would trip the breaker as soon as
the
isolator was switched.

Yesterday (more in hope than expectation) I removed the offending washer
and
took it outside where I removed all the bits I could test and tested them
to
the best of my (limited) ability - they all checked out OK - I didn't test
the thermistor because I read a web guide on how to do it and didn't have
the requisite 'O' levels to be sure I was doing it right.

Anyway following reassembly it ran through a couple of times OK, so I
reinstalled it and it seems OK - That would lead me to think that the wires
might be starting to go - I'll see how it goes and report back.

Thanks,

Tim.

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.
