When the dishwasher is plugged, no sockets work, and i have to flip the little switch on the electrics box.
I have changed the fuse, as this is often a common case, and i replaced it with a brand new same ampage one, still no luck.
what else can i try, it is full up of dirty dishes which are beginning to smell... oh yeah and I%26#039;m home alone... help!|||Hello Matt-Cox;
The dishwasher should be on a dedicated circuit, nothing else plugged into it, same as the refrigerator. The appliance is obviously drawing more current than your fuse can handle. This is a fire hazard and it must be inspected by a qualified technician.
Do not risk using a higher rated fuse, as this will make the fire risk greater.|||Your dishwasher is pulling to much wattage causing the electrical system to over heat which is causing your breaker to do its job and shut your electric system down. Big Fire hazard. What you could do is to unplug everything that is plugged into the electrical outlets that is being turned off when you loose power to your dishwasher. These items are all running to the same circuit breaker. (Coffee maker, toaster, maybe your air conditioner and anything else that you may have plugged in.) Plug in just your dishwasher and try it again. What ever you do, do not put in a larger size amp fuse. This will let your house wiring get so hot that it could start a fire. If your dishwasher is a portable one try plugging it up in a different outlet. Most of all before you let your house get stinky. Wash your dishes by hand.|||hi if its tripping the RCD it a fault with earth and neutral. if its the MCB or just a fuse then could be over loaded. it should be wired with 2.5 T%26amp;E on a 16A/15A fuse/MCB. if its blowing a fuse with 30A or 32A on it. this means its wired in with the sockets which is the wrong way to wire it altogether and you might need to get a new wire from ur electrics box(LOL) to ur dishwasher. could be a big job it all depends.|||The dishwasher is tripping the RCD (Double-width (green)? switch in the main board). It%26#039;s an electrical fault (damp, failed element, dodgy pump) in the dishwasher.
Wash up by hand until it%26#039;s fixed.|||yea what the last one said, only u%26#039;ll need a 13a fused spare above dishwasher to isolate it if you need to.
