Hotpoint ULTIMA WDUD9640 washing machine Tripping electric fuse board
My machines trips circuit breaker/ electric fuse board when the water starts pumping in, I have watched your video on YouTube, how can I know where is the exact fault without running those tests as I haven’t got those testing equipments ? And also how can I take the wet laundry inside the machine as the door doesn’t want to open and I can’t switch the machine on as it trips the fuse board as soon as I switch on from the main socket. Many thanks
I will try and help with this problem Hotpoint ULTIMA WDUD9640 washing machine
If your Hotpoint Ultima WDU-D9640 washing machine trips the electric when it starts filling, it might be due to one of two issues. Firstly, the heating element could have gone to earth, which means you'll need to check it. To do this, isolate the wires while following electrical safety procedures, such as insulating the wires. Then restart the machine. If it doesn't trip the electric, the heating element going to earth could be the issue, causing the fuse board to trip.
The second possible cause is that when the machine starts filling, it rotates clockwise and anticlockwise. If the motor's carbon brushes are worn out, this can also lead to tripping or going to earth. To fix this, inspect both the heating element and carbon brushes.
