I have a roughly 7 year old Ariston Margerita av838 Washer Dryer. Its a fairly basic model.
The machine washes and rinses the clothes ok but after the spin cycle has finished and the timer moves on to the final setting (door release I think) it trips the RCD of the main electric board.
After using it like this for a few weeks, the motor stopped spinning altogether and replacing the bushes in the motor fixed the motor spin problem. However, the tripping on shutdown still remains.
What is causing this trip? I have had a good look at all the wiring and cant see any shorts/sparking.. I have even removed the wires from the door lock mechanism but it still trips on shutdown. I doubt its the motor because it washes and spins ok.
Any ideas?
