Bosch classic xx 5 mintues into the wash, stops and tripps elec.

Sounds as if the control module is bad. This module controls the timing of machine as well.

Disconect power completely, wait 5 minutes, reconnect power. Still flashing, needs serviceman

breaker tripping is caused by an overload ( amps x voltage = watts). If the breaker is- for example -10 amperes and the voltage is 120 volts it equals 1,200 watts of power consumption and if the device is pulling more than the 10 amps setting of the breaker then, it will tripp. Just check how many amps is used by the device and if it is hooked to an electrical outlet that has a lower amps rating than the device then, it will tripp. Look for another electrical outlet that will support the device amps usage and give it a try to find if it does not tripp. If it still does then you may need to take it to a rapair facility to verify if there is any short within the device

In the washing machine your hot water supply comes from your water heater. The element that is tripping is part of your electrical so no you cannot expect a different result. You will have to fix the problem first before you wash.

This will be the heating element.

More than likely the heating element needs replaced as it is down to earth.

Make sure you hace a 13 amp fuse fitted in plug.
Could be a faulty heater element.
Locate heater,remove connections to heater and try without the
heater.
If it still blows, then could be a faulty motor, unplug motro, and try again.
Hope this helps.
