I defrosted the freezer so the ice behind the rear grill and on the floor of the freezer melted. I left it a couple of days and switched it back on. After a couple of weeks it started to leak again. I'm now going to look at the drain hole, but firstly do I need to go around the back or under the...

Thanks, thats my Sunday afternoon job sorted then.

Looking at it, it seems water is freezing on the 'floor' of the freezer then melting. The water looks to be coming from the 'grill' type vent on the rear wall of the inside of the freezer.

My upright Maytag with water dispenser and ice maker works fine but the problem is, it has started to leak out water. It only does it at certain times so I think the frost free function is melting excess ice that might be building up somewhere. Could this be the cause ? Asking advice before I...

Not yet fixed it, so am using the cooler setting. Thing is, the MCB has now started to trip when none of the kitchen appliances are switched on. Has done it 3 times since starting this post ??

The kitchen is a converted basement (converted after fuse ? box installed) so the 'sockets' label is for the rest of the house. Don't know what the 'cooker' does. Cant find out yet as the wife is watching TV.

The washing machine, electric oven, all sockets in the kitchen + garage go out. None of these things are on (only plugged in) when the dishwasher goes off. Will relabel where required (never noticed the wrong labelling e.g cooker)

The 'trip out' is the one labelled 'garage'. When it trips ,all the other appliances in the kitchen and sockets switch off aswell (lighting is OK). Tried the dishwasher again and its worked fine a couple of times but does still go back to 'tripping off'. A mate had a washing machine with the...

32B1N B32---Both these are on the RCD ? I do think it trips when the heating element switches on but wasn't sure as it only occured at the higher temp. As for water leakage ,there are no obvious signs around the machine and as yet I haven't looked inside as I thought asking on here first...

The dishwasher seems to start to wash OK but when it heats up on the 50 oC cycle it trips out the main switch in the fusebox. I tried a wash at a lower temp 30oC and it completed a full cycle.I also tried a rinse only cycle and that was fine. Any ideas before I get my tools out and waste...

Cheers. Thought it might be a bit more than a cheap fix. Its just over 5 years old so I might as well treat here to a £30 replacement off Ebay !!!!! (until she starts looking after things). Thanks ,Have a nice day.

I keep telling my wife not to overfill the machine but does she listen ? Last night the machine was crammed full of clothes (dont know whether it was on the wash or spin cycle). I heard the bang bang bang and went over to it to switch it off and give the missus a mouth full,before I could there...
