Bosch washing machine tripping electric

rothchick

I have a series 4 Bosch washing machine and this morning it has tripped the electrics - I reset everything and still doing it. It’s well out of warranty. Any ideas if this is repairable? Potential costs? Better to call Bosch or someone local?
Thanks I’m advance

Hi,

is it hard wired or on a plug?

If on a plug have you tried it in a different socket?

rothchick

Plug but not other plugs nearby. Is it worth trying an extension ?

Is it tripping the breaker or the RCD?

It’s the little switch on the circuit board that has gone down?  I have put it back up and tried again and same thing happened . I don’t know the technical terms

Thank you for your quick replies- this happened mid cycle so half full with water!!

What does the "little switch" have printed on it?

Everything is repairable, but  it can costs more than a new machine, especially if you call Bosch.

Usually there is an anti-noise/interference filter capacitor where the power lead is connected. It's not uncommon for this capacitor to blow and to cause tripping. This is easy to check by disconnecting the capacitor.

It’s the stitch that says shower

Well, this is very odd.

Usually an electric shower has a dedicated MCB. Also, 32A is sufficient only for 7.5kW shower. If it trips, what else is affected besides the WM?

I don’t have an electric shower anymore, it’s now a mixer. It has affected one other plug in my kitchen. So seems to be the back wall of my house.
