When the dishwasher is switched on the house mains circuit breaker is tripped. Changed 13amp fuse but continued to trip, any ideas????

Answer This Question

    I am suffering this problem at the moment too. First time it tripped the circuit breaker half way through a cycle. Then it tripped it everytime I turned it on. Next I got the fast and delicate lights flashing which I have read usually means the heating element has gone. So I purchased a new heating element and fitted and now it's back to tripping the circuit breaker again. So i disconnected the element and turned it on and I just get the fast and delicate lights flashing.

Dishwasher breaker trips when appliance is off
Check your circuit for a fault.
Domestic appliances have a capacitive RF filter in the mains input. Switch both live and neutral off with a double pole switch at the consumer unit when you are away. That will stop the residual current trip breaking when the neutral line is still connected.

When I plug in (and switch on) the hostess trolley it trips the electric in the house. However, works perfectly in another house.
Hi,
sounds as if your home power distribution / Fuse board has an earth leakage trip and is sensing a leak on the trolley, perhaps the other house is not so well protected, or the Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker ( ELCB) trip is faulty. It would make sense not to use the trolley until you have had it checked out

My Leisure HJA6100 with ice maker and chilled water dispenser now tripe the main circuit breaker for that part of the house when switched on. The plug 13amp fuse does not blow but the consumer unit tripps/...
A breaker trips when the current draw exceeds specifications. This is usually a short or where a component has failed and drawing excess current. It is also a good thing as it prevents a fire! The likely culprit on a fridge is the compressor and that is not usually a DIY job. You can poke around looking for evidence of arcing or overheating but likely a service call.

We're is the fuse on the Jet 3
I hope this helps:
The main circuit breaker is located on the front of the battery tray.
Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. When the batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your power chair to "rest" for approximately one minute. Next, push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeat- edly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.



Here is a link to the owners manual too:

Dishwasher trips out as soon as switched on
Sounds like you have a dead short, perhaps in the motor.
Please do not attempt to start it as it might catch fire.
Someone needs to pull it out form the counter and find out the problem for you.
Sorry!
Be Blessed.

Dishwasher tripping the circuit breaker
Andy, leave the breaker off and remove the toe panel (bottom panel) from the dishwasher. Remove the cover of the junction box where the cord connection or wiring is made. Look at the wire caps and see if they are not burnt. Sometimes these connections become loose and arch, tripping the breaker. If so, cut the wires, strip a new end and reconnect.
