[Resolved]  Siemens Siwamat Xli 1240 — Washing machine tripping electricity system in the house.

When the Washing machine begins to use the motor to drive the belt, the electricity trip switch trips. The socket fuse has also blown twice. We had an engineer (not Siemens) take the motor to pieces and could find no fault with it or any of the rest of the system, but admitted that there was a fault. The machine tripped the switch when he tested it after putting everything back together.


The washing machine is only four years old, has very modest use and is, to all intents and purposes, in very good condition (according to the engineer).
