As soon as the machine starts to fill with water the circuit breaker trips. Disconnecting the earth wire from the socket allows the machine to complete the cycle without any further problems. I thought it might be current leakage from the interference suppressor and isolated it from earth, but the fault remained. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and might be able to point me in the direction of a possible faulty component.
The machine is about 15 years old, in near perfect condition and the heating element is clearly getting hot.
Any help would be much appreciated.
