- 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.
Why whine ?folks this guy is helpful . Thank you !
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
For those who have seen a good portion of this video, ARE YOU STILL ALIVE GUYS?
Yeah
😂👍
Very helpful. Checked this and this doesn't seem to be the problem. Thanks for your help
It is live and neutral not positive and negative.
Muhammad you are an inspiration for people cheekoo people like me, I am gonna open my washing machine and gonna use multimeter as per your instructions. Cheers mate
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?
Helpful just missing major help on how you got the element out.
if you cant work that out better keep away from fixing anything you donk.
Very interesting content, but for gods sake buy yourself a stand for the camera, nearly impossible to follow it.
Help! Tried to take it out but my kistake was I unscrew the knot till the end so when I was teying to remove it the rubber and the cover was seperated. What should I do?
Thanks
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.
Can't watch anymore
Make appropriate video next time bro
Here's an easier way to fix the problem ( Buy a new one).
