[QUOTE="roys, post: 521539, member: 5044"] Just as an update to this thread. I found out what was tripping my RCBO, I fitted a power failure alarm on the ring final so if I was in the house I would know exactly when it tripped, soon worked it out that every now and again say once a month that when the washing machine (Hotpoint Aquarius) was at 2 minutes left on the wash so just when it was going supersonic on its final spin and only sometimes it would trip the RCBO. Yesterday by chance I was beside the washing machine when it was accelerating up to its fastest part of its final spin then all a sudden I saw a blue flash come out of the washing machine, circuit tripped, alarm on, reset RCBO and it automatically finished cycle no probs. Since I saw a blue flash I was fairly convinced that when I took the covers of it today I would see flash witness marks inside. Wrong everything looked very clean, even clipped of the cable ties of the cable loom nothing under them either, nothing rubbing on the drum or motor or heavy carbon build up at brushes. Only bit I didn’t check was the pcb which was hidden in a plastic clippy case that I didn’t want to break today, so if problem persists that will be my next move. PS I bought a mA tong tester Di-Log DL6506 from TLC. [/QUOTE]
