my washing machine runs from a socket which is connected to a fused spur.
when i turn my washing machine on, after a few minutes the washing machine trips out the mains, blowing the fuse in the spur + the plug (both 13amp).
when used on another plug socket the washing machine does not trip out the mains.
also even with the fused spur switch off, just as you put a plug into the socket linked to the spur, you can hear a crackle/sparking noise.
what could be causing this socket to trip the mains?
