I have an Indesit WG820 which when it almost finishes prog 5, sometimes trips the electricity. I've noticed that the Washing machine also doesn't dry the clothes very well, there dripping wet. Is there a sensor on it that if i can't get rid of all the water in time, could cause it to trip?

Any ideas greatly apreciated.

Ian,
Many parts could cause an rcd to trip but at a guess it may be an earth leak at the motor. Due to the number of poss causes you would really need to call an electrician armed with a megger to be on the safe side with this type of fault.
