Ok, there was no problem when the suppressor was disconnected , so the fault is further along. It was beyond my knowledge to check anything else except the brushes , but upon inspection the motor is 3 phase induction motor, so I dont know what to do now, but maybe let my son know to buy a new...

I'm going down there later today so will check all of this out, thanks for reply

What kind of multimeter test can I do on the suppressor ?

Yes, soon as switched on at socket. Thanks , I will give it a look over

Update on this, for sake on completion. The machine trips as soon as it's turned on. So, I doubt we are going to spend too long on it - it might be time for a new one. I might take the back off and check the brushes , and have a quick look for obvious leaks. Will suggest a 5 year warranty on...

I'm not totally sure of what I'm looking, at or how it works.

It's old for a washing machine (7 years ish?) and I know the manufacturers would prefer it's disposed of and new one bought, but if I can help my son fix it for less than £75 or so, then I'd feel better about things by keeping it alive. I've had 2 issues with a washing machine in last 6 years...

Just been searching on here for other 'suspects' - one idea is worn brushes creating short. If it only blows when drum turns (not heating element getting up to , and maybe beyond, temperature ), then it's a possibility

Thanks for answer Yes, unless the vibration of the drum is creating the short via movement? But I've not been down to look at machine yet, so cant quite say exactly what is happening in cycle at that point. I need to go and look a bit closer.

Asking for a relative - washing machine tripped the circuit this morning. It isn't the socket or plug. It seems to happen a few mins into cycle when the water is heating. Any washing machine people out there willing to say what order to check things next and hopefully find the fault? (my next...

Just looked at the photo's a bit closer. Just take the back panel off?

I don't know that model, so can't 100% say - but if you drill those rivets out the 2 things could happen 1) it releases 2) it doesn't release, so your'e either sorted, or no further away or no further toward your goal. You can buy an ok ish riveter for £10 on ebay or sometimes lidl I'd be very...

Can I suggest this for creating 3d , it looks simple (well, it is simple) but the sky is the limit. Nice templates to start with and then adapt. It's free too https://www.tinkercad.com

Most of the parts in there are Denso, but not sure of that means the engine management system is too?

I'm a bit out of touch..

Any luck with this?

ah, I see - yes, very handy I can imagine, thanks

Thanks all. I appreciate the answers and will just call someone in.

Not wet, just blew some out the other week when I think I overfilled. No leaks as far as I know anywhere.
