Machine stopped working mid cycle and clothes still warm, so cleaned filters and pumps, when put it all back together Machine is now tripping the electricity!! Its driving me in sane, anyone any suggestions plsss ??
There is a small thermostat button ontop of the Heater mechanism which has tripped . It has either a red dot or blue dot ontop. Use a pin or opened up paper clip and push through the red wax. It will go click and it is reset. .
It sometimes trips out with a F code which normally trips the machine off because it thinks the Heater unit is on fire.
Reset the Thermistor / Thermostat inside the machine by placing a paperclip or pin inside the red or blue dot as shown on the picture. This will pop the thermostat back into place. a new on casts about £15 ish. 
You can see from my photos that the fluff is yellow in colour but actually looks grey. This clings along the length of the heater element . Take it fully apart and make sure all is clean. Change the resistor and the small Thermostat part beside it if needed costs about £30 for the pars.

something is going down to earth, start by unplugging the motor and retesting, if it doesn't trip them check the motor carbons etc, if it trips then check the heater element for contact down to earth, replace if needed etc, then check the outlet pump the same way if i have helped rate me please ps when working on machine remove from power supply

hold the start button for 5 seconds this should clear previous program. then select drain on your dial. press start as normal and machine will drain. if this does not work the only other remedy is with help, making sure the end of the drain hose is higher than drum at all times take machine outside, lean it back at 45 degrees agaist a wall with a towel or similar covering lid to stop scratching . working from underneath loosen the large jubillee clip that connects the drum to pump drain hose to the drum. As the drum is overfull there is no recepticle large enough to fit under so just let water just flow away. Dry every thing off. make sure you don't loose ping pong ball in filter and make sure filter is clear. refitting is reverse of removal

I had to have a tech come out for the same problem two weeks ago. They had to clean the lint collector which you cannot get to on your own. He said now that this has been done everytime I use the machine, take the clothes out and then run a rinse spin cycle.

Try unplugging the unit and plug it back in. This may reset the controls.

you should replace the heating element its gone.. an earth leekage is usually the heater element this is what is tripping the supply not anything else so in your machine you have a drum heater an emerssion heater its the same elements used in the dryer section so they go wrong i would look around the whole machine and replace perhaps the drum heater also calgon tablets are usefull for sure
