My rcd has been tripping randomly for months. Have traced issue to the tumble dryer in the utility room. With the dryer in the off position switching the power on and off a few times at the power socket tripped the rcd. I left the dryer unplugged for a fortnight and the rcd was fine. Plugged the dryer in to a different socket in the kitchen again in the off position and the rcd tripped instantly.
Had to be a faulty dryer so replaced it with a new one today. Plugged in the new dryer and rcd tripped again after swiching on and off at he socket a few times. As with the old dryer when it is on and running everything is ok.
Have tried other appliances on the socket and no matter how many times I flick the switch the rcd won't trip. But as soon as I plug in either dryer it trips afer a few switches or sometimes even just by plugging it in even with the socket and the dryer both in the off position. Surley I can't have 2 faulty dryers.
Any ideas much appreciated.
