Any whitegoods dabblers around tonight

[i=p/u]

Have a washing machine blowing the fuse , so tested socket all ok.

then notice have short between L&N on plug top, so take off top of machine and disconnect out going of mains capacitor , and it still shorting .

Is that me found my fault , don't want to order part

can I bypass capacitor and still work?

if that is a capacitor across L and N terminals, bin it. then see if the dhort has gone. it's only a rfi suppressor. if your radio is tuned to radio 1, you'll not see any detriment.

Proper electricians do not "dabble"sir.

That's the part uncle , is this a specific capacitor or just suppression

As tel said capacitor is purely for rfi suppression,just get rid.

Just out of interest,how did you identify this short,and what is its magnitude? Cheers fella

Bell tester... Magnitude is a deD short across live conductors

Did disconnecting it stop the tripping problem? You can run the machine without it but you might get interference on TV's and radios in the close vicinity.

A few years ago I liked listening to radio 2 then the legendary mr Wogan was replaced with that idiot Evans,the mere sight of that guy makes my blood boil.
