Cable Forum - View Single Post - Washing Machine. Blown Fuse; How to identify faulty part

Mark Up · 12-10-2013, 11:58

I am hoping there is some knowledgeable "Kind Soul" out there that can help me. Our washing machine which is under 3 years old nows blows the 15Amp fuse in the plug (not the trip switch) either at the end of the wash cycle (or near the end of it) but certainly before the rinse cycle starts. We can put it on the rinse cycle only and it works.The socket is not the issue as I hav put an estension lead on the plug and put it in a difference socket but the fuse still blows in the plug. I am trying to identify which is the faulty part, can anyone advise me. The call out charge for an engineer is exhorbitant and as I don't know which part is faulty (and therefore the cost of the part) going down this route at this stage is not a viable proposition. If I can identify what is causing the fuse blow to then I can explore the possibilities. Maybe if it straight forward try and replace the faulty pary myself .Thank you for any advise/suggestions it will be greatly appreciated.
