hoover hdv6 tumble drier/tripping mcb

[pence]

machine trips mcb when plugged into mains and switched on-trip goes straight away does not even start.
machine is 1.1 yrs old,
have taken top off, wires from plug connect to a white (i believe a capacitor???).
found out through trial and error that when i disconnect all wires from capacitor but connect neutral and earth incoming wires trip goes.
i know you need special kit to test a capacitor so is it safe to bypass it?
i think the capacitor allows the single phase motor to spin one way only?

bypassing the capacitor(if that is what it is) would prove the fault
please help

is this a capacitor or is it a mains filter ???????????? what wires go into the conponent

done some digging and i now believe that it is a suppressor.

anyhow tried the machine yesterday and it is working, for how long i do not know. is there a way of testing a suppressor?

i would suggest you get a new one, quicker, less hassle

but connect neutral and earth incoming wires trip goes.

i kno he said MCB but we all know people dont relize there is a difference

aswell as the fact it wouldnt trip and <CB since he hasnt connected the live
