Dishwasher Tripping

Debt_Free_Chick

My dishwasher is tripping the RCD. I replaced the element on the DW about 3 months ago and that seemed to solve the problem. But .... it's returned.

It's a built-in model so not an option to drag it out and take a look.

Any ideas please? Is it possibly a leak that's getting in to the electrics ...?

It trips even on a rinse program when there's no/minimal heat required.

Would appreciate your wise views :-)

Built in models usually can be pulled out - just remove the kick board first. I would check first the cable from the dishwasher to make sure it's intact. If it's not then you may have a rodent of some kind. They are notorious for chewing through electric cables. And make sure correct amp fuse in plug.

If there's no problems with the electricity cable then something going on in dishwasher itself. A Google search might be handy - would tell you what some of the possibilities are and help you decide whether it's better to get a new one, if repair is not cost effective.

You will be able to get integrated model out, just did mine at the weekend to change the inlet hose that had burst.

Take your kickboard off and there will be some screws to anchor the dishwasher to underside of worktop, I also had one on each side half way down. You may need to screw up the legs that raise the machine to worktop level to get it out easier
