Washing machine causing power trip!

[aarontansp]

Normal program wash run 15 minutes then trip the C-B. But when I switch to quick wash cycle at 18mins, C-B didn't trip. What's the issue? Used 3 washing machines b4 never this happen. Time to change washing machine again?

Which washing machine?

Which washing machine?

Electrolux front load. Warranty over

If it can cause power trip, then not safe already (electricity leakages), better get someone to fix it or buy a new one.

You should bring an electrician in. Could be your breaker not able to handle the wattage load during high drain cycles.

Or you put too many high drain devices on the same breaker

better throw la, later causing many more problem

is it tripping the MCB or RCCB?
former is over current. Latter is leakage.

Erm, the main outside unit is RCCB and the one inside unit is MCB?

Get an electrician. Don't play play.

Maybe it is the circuit board inside the washing machine that is defective.
It could be that normal wash will utilise the heater element to reach a certain ºC. And it is the heater element that causes some current problems that trip CCB. Quick wash cycle does not activate the heater element.
For you just use the quick wash.
Actually I only use 1 program - quick wash. My washing machine has so many other programs that I don't care about.
I guess Electrolux washing machine is made in Thailand.

No need spend money to buy new washing machine.

RCCB has a blue button with T or test symbol.
