Don't know what the 2-cycle is... but here are a couple things to consider:
Dishwashers by code must be connected to a GFCI circuit since they handle water. If there is a faulty ground anywhere on the device the GFCI will trip, hence saving you from being electrocuted. If the circuit breaker is under rated and the 2-cycle is drawing more current than the rating, it will blow. The dishwasher should be on its own circuit also. If more than one appliance is on the same circuit, it may be too much for that circuit. My guess is that the 2-cycle is trying to heat the water inside the washer and drawing alot of power. Make sure the rating of the circuit breaker matches the manufacturers recommendation.
Mine done the same then eventually tripped every time i put a cycle on.I unplugged it. I then disconnected the two connecters that go onto the element leaving the earth on. I put the plug back in and put on a cycle,it worked fine(but cold) this told me it was a problem with the element. I replaced the element which was around £35 and now it works like new.It was'nt that easy though as access to the underside of the dishwasher from the back is restricted. All in all it probably took a couple of hours and im not normally that handy with tools but the idea of doing the dishes again was enough motivation for me to get my hands dirty.But i would stress that you unplug and disconnect it when doing any work.
