Hi everyone, I am having a problem with dishwasher. It keeps tripping out, without starting or making noises/bangs etc.!


Here is a video showing my problem. Anyone know what is causing it?

I'm assuming heating element is split, moisture in it is causing a short

We can see it is a Kenwood from the video

Main areas of those problems are heater fault, leak onto electrics, corrosion on a motor Al potentially resulting in low insulation values or short circuits. Also possible is a faulty control board or damaged wiring and other things so really needs a competent person to trace out the problem! If you can work safe the heater though is often fairly easy to isolate and prove that is a cause but you should really do a proper insulation test!

I had 2 of this brand that leaked internally causing no end of fault codes/tripping etc. Gave up in the end & bought a Beko - been going for 8 years so far

Funny I had a beko and after five call outs under warranty for tripping the electrics and most of the internals being replaced it's just gone back as economically unrepairable!
