hotpoint cdt40 trips out?

I turn on the power to the dryer all seams ok, but as soon as i get it going it trips out the main board switch, weather its in cool or hot setting. thanks.

mine was doing this also . I moved it and left it to dry out and notice the tubes at the back the thick black one that is attached , and there is a clear one that looks like it should be attached but isnt ? Do you know if it should or should be ?

take the plate off at the back of the machine that covers the element and back fan and make sure theres no water in there. sometimes water gets in there and when u switch the machine on the fan will go round and flick water on to the element causing it to trip. just dry the water up and leave to dry out for a few hours.
