Unplug the wires on each one. Have you got a mega. ? That's a meter that will show the fault. Ie earth leak Etc.

As I said before. Unplug the heater then the motor till it won't trip. Then U will find which one is at fault.

Hi as you said. i disconnected the heater. and plugged the machine back on. now it doesn't trip. it's look like that the heater is faulty. but how do i check the heater now?

You don't have to check it now. The heater is faulty just replace it.
