ISE Washing machine problem
My ISE washing machine is blowing all the fuses in my home when it’s switched on. This happened once before about 2 years ago, and is the only problem that I’ve had with this machine. The cause last time was that the Thermistor was shorting due to moisture, this was because there was a lot of fluff from the tumble dryer which was next to it. I’m not sure what the engineer did, but I know he cleared up all the fluff, and maybe dried the Thermistor out somehow, as he did not charge for any parts. There does not appear to be any fluff at all this time, so not sure what could be causing the same problem.

ISE washing machine trips household electrics when switched on
- The problem
- An ISE washing machine is blowing/tripping the household fuses as soon as it is switched on. The same symptom reportedly happened about two years earlier; on that occasion an engineer found the thermistor was shorting due to moisture and cleaned out fluff from a nearby tumble dryer area, with no parts fitted.
- Likely cause
- The discussion does not confirm a specific current fault. The accepted reply states that tripping or fusing the electrics can be caused by many different faults. The earlier thermistor/moisture issue is background history only, not confirmed as the present cause.
- What fixed it
- No documented repair was provided. The accepted advice was that this type of fault requires diagnosis with a special meter. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Previous engineer reportedly found a thermistor shorting due to moisture during an earlier incident
- Original poster checked for fluff and reported none visible this time
- Parts or tools mentioned
- special meter
Safety: Because the machine is tripping/blowing the electrics, do not continue using it until it has been properly diagnosed by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
