I will try and help with this problem Bosch wae24460au washing machine
The first thing I would check is the heating element 0309 if this is going to earth This will cause it to trip the rcd the only way to test it properly is using an insulation tester (mega) but you could try disconnecting the element making sure that the wires are safe and try it on a cycle.
there is also a possibility that the main motor 0301 may need new carbon brushes 0302 this could cause the RCD to trip. also, check the wiring loom for any damage. I have added some videos below to assist you.
