Any idea why my Hotpoint Aquarius keeps flipping the main fuse?

My Hotpoint Aquarius trips the fusebox when switched on.

Doesn't do it all the time - only occasionally. Have managed to reset it in the past but not this time...

Help much appreciated

I had this problem, followed advice received on the internet. There are moisture sensors near the heating elements, located in the rear of the unit behind a metal plate with approx 10 screws. I carefully removed the plate and dried the area with a hair dryer. Cleaned condensor unit and now works fine. Apparently the condensor needs cleaning more often than is recommended in the user manual otherwise this problem can reoccur.
