Hi

A friend of mine has a Hotpoint WF541 that is about 3yrs old. Everytime she plugs it in the machine lights up all lights then trips the mains out.

I have taken the top off and checked the wiring and can't find any scorch marks or chafed wires.

Have been reading through the forums and there is many a reference to the PCB (haven't checked as didn't take the back off) and also C17 on the PCB. She can't afford much so any advice given would be very, very appreciated.

Here's hoping!

Unless you have a mega. That's a meter very expensive bit of kit the only other way is to unplug certain things at a time first mains surpresor, then heater and motor to see what's causing it to trip.
