the first thing to do is watch the machine, as it cycles through the programs,as to when it trips the power.eg if its tripping half way into the cycle,then one could suspect a faulty circulation pump or a bad connection say, or main water heating element.if its tripping towards the end cycle,then suspect heater or drain pump,loose connection and associated wiring.once you have identified which component trips the power when it comes into play,then you can investigate that componant and associated wiring.if the power tripping is intermittent then you can associate that with loose connections or even a small leak.if you don't feel confident with this procedure,then I would suggest calling in a engineer.which ever you decide to do I wish you all the best:)
