I have a Hotpoint HIC 3B+26 integrated dishwasher which popped the RCD, so I switch off the switch and reset the RCD and then when I switched it on again it just popped straight away.
I removed the dishwasher and opened and checked for blown components or any damage on the main supply lines.
I noticed that the cabling going from the main unit to the door had damaged the electrical tape and had bunched it all, so I removed this and free'd the cabling.
Powered the unit up again and then it ran for 20 minutes then popped the RCD again.
I then had to vacuum out all the water and then remove it again, I checked the wiring again and found a bare wire that looked like was shorting to chassis, it was going up to the latch switch. I taped this up after checking continuity and then when I powered it back up it won't even switch on.
The unit usually switches on before the door is closed as it's built in so the latch switch is open and then goes short once closed so take it that's the start signal.
I have checked the main PCB and there is mains power available to it, there is also multiple 12vdc on the pins that supply voltage to the ON/OFF switch and small control PCB, when the connector is removed when it's fitted this changes to a pulsed voltage so not sure if the top PCB is faulty or not can't seem to find any info or service manuals etc
Anyone have any ideas what to look out for as sound like a fuse but can't seem to see anything.
Should it power on with all the major components removed from the main PCB just to see if it was something else killing it?
Thank you.
