diplomat APM8542/2 washing machine?
I need some advice on this washing machine problem. It keeps tripping the electric switch. The electrician has been and checked the wiring and fuse etc., and thinks the problem lies with the machine motor.
I took the panel off from the top and back to view the machine at trip point. It starts the cycle for a few seconds and at the time when the motor starts to turn the belt the electric trips every time.
I am not sure if the brushes would cause this as there is quite a bit of carbon deposit around there, but no burnt wires or anything loose.
Would be grateful for advice on just replacing brushes or maybe the motor - all of which would be cheaper than a new machine! Thank you in advance.
