Breaker keeps tripping on the machine

Probably liquid has entered the mains supply and is tripping it out.
Take it apart and replace all damaged/contaminated items.
Or
it could be a worn mains lead inside.
Take a look.

The modern fusebox contains two types of breaker; the micro circuit breaker (mcb) that replaces the old fashioned fuse and the residual current device (rcd) and which one trips indicates the type of fault.
The mcb trips in response to an overloaded circuit or short circuit and the rcd trips when current leaks from the circuit to ground.

When a washing machine does this there is a strong possibility some water has found a way to mix with the electrics. The first task will be to examine the power cord and then to remove whatever covers can be removed for a close examination of the internals looking for evidence of water...

Washing Machine keeps tripping the electrics -

This tells me that you do not have an overload situation. There is a short, and/or one or more faulty breakers possibly including the main breaker.
Even an experienced DIY'er with electrical knowledge would probably contact an electrician at this point. If there is a potential problem with the main breaker then it is best to get professional help.

Why is my electric circuit breaker tripping

Common Causes for Tripped Circuit Breakers

Why Does My Circuit Breaker Keep Tripping

It's probably pulling more amps then the circuit breaker can handle. Try plugging it into a different plug or unplug something that's on the same circuit that you move the machine on. if that doesn't work there's a short to ground somewhere in the machine.

It could be a faulty pump,
rusty pump & moisture on copper windings leaks active, neutral back to earth on your pump & trips your breaker.
Solution: Replace pump.

You have a short or overload fault in the washing machine that causes the circuit breaker to trip out and this prevents a possible fire.

First unplug your washer. Check the ground on the washer and make sure it isn't loose; this would be a good time to inspect the wiring harness for any problems. Next check the outlet (turn off the electric to that breaker first) make sure all the wires are tight and are making good contact; pay special attention to the neutral (white) wire. If that seems fine, and you are comfortable with going into you breaker panel, turn off that breaker and check the hot (the wire on the breaker) to make sure it isn't loose and then check the neutral wire. If either of these wires seem loose tighten them down....a loose wire will move when a load is put on it and cause the breaker to trip. If all seems normal and washer is still tripping the breaker you might want to replace the breaker.....they can go bad. Good luck!

The heating element is shorted. This is an electric dryer, right? replace the heating element. Make damn sure it's un-plugged when you work on it!

disconect the heatind element or elements on the live side and see if it still trips the 20 amp breaker. try that first.
