Is your washer plugged into a groundfault receptacle if it is and the ground fault receptacle is tripping you need to use less soap in your washing machine or change the receptacle to a non ground fault like a regular 120 V receptacle. the suds are coming down the side of the washer inside and getting some of the electronics Damp and that is tripping out the ground fault receptacle.

hello, the reason for this because theres a dead short inside washer or the socket may have a loose wire check all the earth wires inside the washer and the sockets get back to me if you still have trouble

REMOVE TOP OF WASHER AND CHECK WIRING ON FRONT RIGHT SIDE AS IT IS PRONE TO CHAFFING CAUSING AN INSTANT TRIP.

sounds like water is getting into the electrics....or your trip circuit has became week...try switching the trip switch from another circuit.

temp solution, switch on and off at wall socket with on/off switch in and out, untill only on/off switch is lit, then use wall switch for power on off. worked for me.

It could be the heater, when you said halfway through a wash that would be about 20 minutes or so but the heater would have come on after about 10 minutes, but it is worth checking out (with a meter) or it could be a build up of carbon from the brushes, in which case a quick dust out of the motor housing will clear that. The other possiblity is a wire shorting out on the cabinet, this one is not so straight forward and will need some tracking down. If you have a Megger then do an insulation test for information on this use this link. http://www.selfix-uk.co.uk/Megger.html

It's probably a loose connection in the wiring in the machine. Seems to be a problem with the WF741 machines and is most likely a similar issue with yours. The probability is that the vibration from the machine is enough to work some connections loose. If you have someone competent to do this, then check that all connectors are pushed firmly onto their circuit boards. (I have posted a separate reply to this issue for the WF741 model on here.) See if this helps.

it sounds like you have a direct short in the wiring some where on your machine.the only other option is the main control board needs to be replaced

Check the height of the drain hose and make sure the drain hose is higher than 30 inches from the ground. If your drain hose drains into the floor you may need to purchase a siphon break to stop the problem

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
