When my hotpoint wm52 fills with water, it trips the house rcd when the inlet valve stops the water coming in, when full. What can cause this problem? I tried all other functions after a bearing change, all works fine, but I didn't let the water fill the drum completely at this time, I just went through the basic functions, fill with water, wash, rinse, empty, spin. Then put on a load of washing, when the drum was full with water it tripped the house rcd. I had to remove the wet washing which lowered the water level. I was then able to reset the RCD switch on the machine and empty the water out. I then tried filling with waterwithout a load and the RCD tripped when the water fill shut off. Any assistance greatly appreciatede, thanks.

Heater poss open circuit. Remove the purple wire off the pressure switch and if it don't trip that's the fault.
