This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Zanussi WDT 1085 trips RCD after overload and remains locked
- The problem
- A Zanussi WDT 1085 washer-dryer, rated at 4.5kg max load, was overloaded on a wash/rinse/spin programme. It then tripped the RCD almost immediately after starting, became dead, and the door remained locked.
- Likely cause
- An electrical fault is indicated by the immediate RCD trip, but the discussion does not identify a specific failed component or confirm that overloading directly caused the fault.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was that the fault probably requires inspection by an engineer because there are too many possible causes to diagnose from the symptoms alone. No specific repair was confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Machine overloaded beyond stated 4.5kg maximum load
- RCD tripped almost immediately after programme start
- Machine left dead with door locked
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It's a fault that probably needs an engineer to look at. There's too many variables and possibilities. These articles may help though -
