youll need to be more specific as to when the electrics trip. if its as soon as you select start, it could be the pcb board, or the fill solenoid. if its part way into the cyclen then most likely the element. the easist way to test the element is to disconect it (make sure you insulate the wires you remove), and run the machine. it will not run through te cycle as the temperature will not rise and therefore the cycle will not progress. but if the electrics dont trip, then theres your answer.
the other optionis to get someone to check your machine over, it would take a few minutes to test the elements with a meggar.
hope this helps
