Beko Dishwasher throwing trip switch.

Hi, We bought a Beko dishwasher about 2 months ago and everything was fine, now however when we put the machine on, after about 5-10mins the machine throws the trip switch. We have isolated the problem to the machine, the socket that the machine is connected to works fine, with Bread maker and all the other kitchen paraphanalia that we use. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what the problem could be. We haven't got in touch with Beko yet, thought that we would ask here first. Thanks

Does it trip on the pre wash? If not then it could be the heating element.

Is it possibly the waste pipe that might be blocked causing the pump to trip the switch when it tries to empty the dishwasher on the first rinse.

Hi, Thanks for all your suggestions, we have now had the dishwasher mended
apparently it was the plastic cover that had come off, the plastic cover is at the top inside of the dishwasher, this apparently covers the hot air pipe, which heats something, can't remember what, anyway the Beko mechanic said that it was not put on properly at the factory. The disc or cover had come off and when the dishwasher was washing and spraying water about, the spray got through the vent "which should have been covered" and got onto the electrics which are housed in the panels of the dishwasher, so that caused the dishwasher to keep tripping the trip switch. Thought that me telling you all of this may help someone who may have the same trouble as we had. Thanks anyway for your suggestions. :beer:
