Dishwasher assistance

[adamfitz]

Morning all, I've got a Currys slimline dishwasher which has worked fine for the last 4 month's. Went to use it last week, and no sign of life. Pulls the control panel forward, found a fuse gone on the pcb. No bother, changed said fuse and refitted. Powered up fine this morning, set it off on a cycle and it tripped the RCCB in the consumer unit and blew the fuse again.
Could it be the pump? Element?
All suggestions welcome, if becomes too expensive I'll skip it and get a new one

Sounds like heating element, but if it tripped straight away then it could be the pump, or the control circuit, something has gone to earth.

If it is under a year old, take it back.

Nows the time you wish you had brought the extended warranty

Aha it was second hand, didn't cost the earth. Turns out it's the motor. Have sorted a replacement dishwasher instead as the motor was best part of £100

This all depends on what amperage the fuse is, if it's small ie 1 or 2 amp it won't be the heater, check cabling that could have rubbed through and be catching when in use

as above if its less than 13 amp it will only be to protect the circuit board
