Hi, my new tennent called me to say when they plugged the washing machine into the WM plug socket it trips the rcd.
I went to investigate and the tennent informed me that they had used the washine machine at there old house for 18/24 months and it worked fine. They did say they had an old fuse board.
Everything else in the kitchen worked fine, with washing machine unplugged, and when I tried WM in a different socket it tripped Rcd again.
I then switched everything off in the whole house, re set rcd and plugged WM into a socket above work top, as soon as I turned dial to switch WM on the rcd went again.
The 2 previous tenents had no problem with there washing machines. Is it fair to say the machine has a fault not there is a problem witn the property electrics?
Thank you
