Hi all my Samsung dishwasher has just started tripping the house RCD after being on for about 10mins and the dishwasher is full of water. Any ideas what this could be.

Usually the heater element. Is the element visible, if so can you see any damage? If no or no to the above, unless you're handy with a test meter there's not a lot more I can do from here.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0

no heater element is not visible and yes ive got a multi meter0 -
Sometimes the drain pump trips them. The drain will come on before the heater does.
See if you can disconnect one of the wires to the drain pump, switch on the machine and see if it doesn't trip. Then just change the pump.0 -

Hi thanks for that it looks like the pump and heater are all one unit if that's possible. having trouble locating the part when looking for heater so I might try searching for pump heater.0 -
Yes, that seems common nowadays. If you can find a service manual online that will help, although if the whole thing has to be replaced they can be expensive.dave030445 wrote: »...it looks like the pump and heater are all one unit if that's possible.Tall, dark & handsome.

ive been onto espares and they say that the hot water circulation pump doesn't have a heater built in still struggling to find part0 -
hi just thinking would the heater heat the water up in a tank before it enters the DW (where the plates go) or would the cold water fill up inside the DW(where the plates go) then heat up.0

As far as I know (it's been a while) the heater is either in the bottom of the tub or somewhere in the path of the water as it circulates. There isn't a tank.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0

ok thanks just trying to work out if its the pump or heater causing the problem the person on espares said the heater and pump are separate. would it be safe the plug into a none RCD socket and see if it works it may come up an error message0 -
