Hi Guys having a few probs beside my washing device i have in recent times moved to a new falt and i am not sure if it is the Electric or the contrivance its self but every time i switch the machine on to a programme it trips the trip switch surrounded by the falt, i no that it is not the socket because i have tryed it on 4 of them.
Any suggestions would be fab guys.

Common problem. Try to ensure that no other foremost appliance is running at the same time as the wash machine.
If your device doesn't have a blame then you stipulation to check the breaker. Some RCD breakers can be over sensitive and may need replacing. Is it a 100mA or a 30mA RCD. If 30 consequently it might be best to get it replaced next to a 100mA unit.
You will stipulation to get a qualified electrician to do this as the foreign part P regulations product it illegal to mess next to the consumer unit.
I am assuming you have tried different electrical products within each of the sockets beside no problems.
What you describe suggests your washing piece of equipment has developed an electrical criticize. The trip switch trips to protect you.
It might be that a little marine got sloshed nearly when moving the machine and that it have got into the electrical parts, surrounded by which case it might dry-out contained by a few days. But that is of late guesswork so, to be safe, it sounds as though you obligation to call out a competent washing-machine repairer. Sorry, I don't deduce there are any quick-fixes.
Answers: Was the wash machine already within the flat or do you know it's history?( was it yours) If it be in already the flat, later i would take see of the trip switch and believe it has a scorn. Don't take any likelihood and get it checked out?
A trip switch doesn not trip for nil?
I judge their is an electrical problem.you must call the mechanic and ask him to see the problem.
