Re: Machine is tripping the electricial supply sometimes
Check for water leaks near the PCB. Otherwise, its most likely the steamboiler element has earth leakage. You can check for this using the Resistance setting on a multimeter.

Sounds like a power supply problem\ mis wire. Receptacles or cord wiring don't match. Ground wiring wrong..This unit has two supply cords. Possible wiring cut and hitting metal .somewhere in supply. Hire a professional, could be dangerous.
Ian if the circuit breaker is a rcd it will trip off the supply if it
normally detects a very small leakage or unbalance of around 35 m /amps this could be a small water leak onto live parts in the machine or a minute short to earth on one component ,make sure all parts are dry / is it tripping when you switch power on to machine or does it trip when machine is in cycle mode.
1. its as first suggestion 2. it's a component like pump or drive motor that;s causing problem. hope this is of some help,g.luck
Somewhere inside the machine there is a wire which has lost its insulation and is touching the frame of the machine. In other words you have a short in the machine. Be thankful that the supply is tripping because otherwise the casing of the machine would become live and could be deadly. Get someone in to check it out if you are not confident in taking it apart yourself. Unplug it until it has been sorted.
That normally signals motherboard or power supply. Most of the time, power supply. Try paper clip test to determine if PSU is bad. You can get a replacement for about 20 bucks
Check your power supply board for some bad caps (capacitors) on the board. They will look
bulged on the top an may be a little leaky (brownish stain). A bad cap can sometimes produce a harmonic, causing issue's with the sound. Also look at the signal board (where all the inputs are), for bad caps. I have come across this on a lcd tv!! Good luck, hope this is helpful!
Their is either a Short or an Electricial grounding taking place during the wash cycle. Don't take a chance on buring out your circuit breaker in the house panel box . Quit using it until the electricial problem is found.
