This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko washing machine trips the RCD and front panel lights had stopped working
- The problem
- A Beko washing machine previously continued to wash despite the front lights not coming on, but it later began tripping the RCD whenever it was switched on. The plug and socket were reportedly checked and ruled out.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply suggests a probable wiring fault, such as a wire rubbed bare, causing control panel connection issues and now creating a short to earth or insulation fault. This was suggested as a likely diagnosis, not a confirmed repair.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was documented. The recommended action was to trace the fault with an insulation test meter, as this type of earth-tripping fault needs proper insulation testing. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Plug checked
- Socket checked
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Insulation test meter
Safety: Because the machine is tripping the RCD, it may have an earth or insulation fault. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Could be a wire that's got rubbed bare somewhere causing connection problems with the control panel and now shorting out but other than that you need an insulation test meter to track down fusing or earth tripping faults on appliances.
