Hi my washing machine keeps tripping fuse board and the fuse in plug.
I found the problem was the mains cable which you plug in had a fault in side the machine.
Turn power of and in plug as risk of electricity shock.
Undo the two screws holding the lid on the top of the machine.
You will see the power cable running in with a brown which is the live blue which is the neutral and yellow/green which is earth PLEASE MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF AS YOU COULD DIE FROM AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
What I found was the blue and the brown wire had a nip on them and stuck together which cause the fuse to blow and main electric board to trip repair the cables and put lid on and try.
This must have been a factory fault where they wired up and niped the cables as I have not opened up since new 5 years ago bit of a joke lasting this long and no problems.

If you don't under stand get somebody competent in to sort for you.

If this is not a problem it could be heating element or motor.

Hop this helps
 
I'm all in favour of further education, and doing it safely is of the utmost importance.
