I have a Hotpoint Aquarius Washer Dryer WD440 and the program is set Im unable to reset it and every time i turn it on and close the door it Trips the fuse box
Not sure what the problem is wish I could reset the program to drain it and also figure out why its doing this its a Hotpoint Aquarius Washer dryer WD440 can anybody help please im a key worker and need it working.
 
If it's anything like my Hotpoint condenser dryer, which also keeps tripping once in a while.

I found due to poor air circulation in the kitchen (where tumble dryer is) and design oversight, condensation was building up on the heating elements, resulting in it shorting to ground and hence tripping the RCD.

My work around (until my landlord can get air circulation sorted - lovely mould and damp walls in kitchen) and until I can get a new improved dryer (unable to do so, due to where I live in Covid-19 times) has been to remove rear panel and dry condensation up with paper towels and then use a hair dryer on back panel "sponge" and "paper insulation" between elements until fully dry.

Assume you have some basic electrical knowledge? If not then please leave well alone.

Good luck.
