Hi
My Hotpoint Aquarious wd 440 washer dryer is only two years old and is tripping the house mains board.

Sometimes the washer panel will light up when the on/off switch on the washer is turned on, only to go off again on its own without tripping the house fuse board.

If you try to select a PROGRAM on the washer then it will immediately trip the house mains fuse board.

The filter in the washer is clear and the drum is free to turn. I wonder if this is a common fault with this model and someone can point a finger at the source. It is obviously shoring out somewhere,do they have mainboard problems or i have heard it said that the mains lead to the washer can sometimes burn out causing an intermitant fault.
Any ideas welcome and thankyou . regards Rick
