Dishwasher keeps tripping circuit breaker
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.10 PM
My diplomat dishwasher has just started to trip the circuit breaker a few minutes into cycles. It seemed to run a rinse cycle fine, but when I tried a regular cycle the circuit breaker was tripped after approx 5 mins. Dishwasher is hard wired into the electrics and intergrated.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

80-90% likely to be a Faulty heating element inside the dishwasher.
