Washing machine cutting power at spin

[Jameswren]

My washing machine is cutting power on several circuits in my house when it hits spin - it's not every time but about 50/50.

I had the motor changed and carbon brushes replaced but the problem hasn't gone away, nor got much better.

If I put the power back on and let the machine continue from the poor it died it usually works and the cycle completes.

There doesn't seem to be a link with overall usage of power, load weight or spin power.

The machine is a Beko WMA767S.

Sorry for the poor terminology.

could it be a problem with the trip switch / power supply and not your washing machine?

the extra demand of power to spin faster could be overloading it.

is it tripping an rcd?

It is, yes.

I have a thread in "UK electrics" that I revived as well.

less sensitive rcd needed then.. better check with a leckytrician for that.

After much sodding about, it seems to be pulp related.

When there a full load (particularly lots of moisture holding materials) it's more likely to fail. If I remove some clothing and run a "drain" cycle it generally runs fine on spin.

I had to move the waste and found the pipe was clogged with gunk. I've now re-routed and it's much better.
