tumbledryer keeps tripping house circuit switch?

when i switch on my cdt00 dryer it trips the circuit breaker in my house any idea what the problem is

hi if you mean the MCB keeps tripping then u are overloading the circuit as the MCB is there to protect the cables feeding your power suppply
If you meant the RCD is tripping thenyou have an earth fault probably between neutral and earth probably caused by damp
If the MCB is adequate then again you could have a fault on the appliance
