Ian if the circuit breaker is a rcd it will trip off the supply if it
normally detects a very small leakage or unbalance of around 35 m /amps this could be a small water leak onto live parts in the machine or a minute short to earth on one component ,make sure all parts are dry / is it tripping when you switch power on to machine or does it trip when machine is in cycle mode.
1. its as first suggestion 2. it's a component like pump or drive motor that;s causing problem. hope this is of some help,g.luck
if you unplug it from the wall does the dripping continue? if so the inlet valve is jammed slightly open and will need to be replaced (on the odd occasion i have had success by giving it a sharp tap) in the meantime turn the taps off when your not using the washer
Does your Hoover model have a tub-to-sink hose? When pumping does it seem like the volume is what it used to be? If not, you may have some restriction in the pump or the hose. It could also be that the timer isn't running the pump long enough. Does it seem to pump for the normal amount of time?
Sounds like electrical leakage to earth operating a circuit breaker, this can be caused by many things however perhaps most common is the Heater in the machine, disconnect both wires to this bottom of the drum then try machine to see if it powers up, if yes then get/fit new heater .
Not sure what you mean by a "rotor disc"???
According to the diagram It only has 1 belt.
