That is why all electrical appliances must be earthed with a three prong plug or hard wired.
Replace the damaged element.

Washing Machine keeps tripping the electrics -

Possible that there is higher current drain which trips off the circuit. This can be due to moisture or dampness in the circuit , coils or the motor. You need to remove the top panel and dry using a dryer. check the connectors, check the main line , the motor circuit. Isolation of the motor or the heater can confirm the short if the circuit stays. Check the main power to the panel and allied circuit for possible capacitor leak or short.

bad earth or short on machine.............
needs checking out asap........
cheers

You have a problem with Live feed shorting to earth on a main component. You need to switch off machine and seek a qualified electrician ASAP

A few possibilities here,if wash element is grounding in Kohms this will trpp breaker,disconnect element and see will electrics trip,burnt terminals is also possibility at any point in washer especially at feed connections,grounding drain pump or motor windings can also cause tripping,disconnect also and then check,damp spots around electrics can also indicate water leaking onto electric components.safety guidlines and procedures should always be followed when checking and repairing electrical equipment

Hiya,
there is a few things that will do this to your electics 1st & formost if your trip switch is tripping off remember this is a safty device to prevent fire so ignoring the problem & switching the power back on to try again could run the risk of fire!!

when the power trips you will need to know at what point in the wash this happens if its when the machine is emptying then it would be a pump issue if the machine is emptying no problem then the issue is more likely to be the motor either of which would need to be replaced if you are having these problems.

on rare ocasions you can spring a leak & if water gets on the electrics this will also trip the power but this is 1 of the least likely posabilatys.. rest assured if the power is tripping off then your home electrics are working fine & to confirm all sockets run from 1 main fuse all lights run from a second main fuse then there is a few other bits that run on there on fuses too i.e. cooker, power shower etc.. remember always get a qualified electrician to work on your electrics to ensure the job is carried out correctly

Hope this helps

something is going down to earth, start by unplugging the motor and retesting, if it doesn't trip them check the motor carbons etc, if it trips then check the heater element for contact down to earth, replace if needed etc, then check the outlet pump the same way if i have helped rate me please ps when working on machine remove from power supply
