  • Here is a HOTPOINT AQUARIUS BHWD 149 INTEGRATED WASHER DRYER - washing machine. It tripped the RCD/ELCB circuit breaker on my homes consumer unit. I diagnosed the fault to the Heating Element, swapped it out with a new one and that was that all done. I traced the fault to the Heating Element and replaced with the new one was the only solution.

    Despite the rather erratic filming this is a helpful video. My washing machine is tripping the rcd, hopefully it'll be as simple to fix as this! I'll test the heating element for continuity before ordering a new one. Thanks for the video

    My washing machine (Indesit IWDE 126) started tripping the circuit board RCD each time it starts a cycle. I tested other cycles and concluded that it runs cycles that do not require heating water.
    Is it a safe guess that I just need to replace the Heating Element? Is that something one can do with not a lot of knowledge of electrics or is it a hard job? Thanks!

    Was it already passed the 5 year guarantee or did you just ignore it?

      That is not a problem. Just put them back, the way they were together. When you screw them back, it will water sealed. Make sure it screw is fully tight.
