My Samsung washing machine (front loading) (Model No. WF-R1061) trips during the washing repeatedly. This never used to happen before, but now the frequency has increased to the point where the machine is unusable. It trips right back after a reset! Samsung service is very poor and their service technicians have no idea about what is causing this. We have the machine on a completely independent circuit, but it does not help. Any help to solve this problem would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Does it show an error code ? when it trips what is the washer doing filling water or spinning etc ? does it work on other settings like spin and drain with out tripping. ?

stop using your machine as it sounds like your bearings have gone completely as you say it also has tripped the fuse twice this is because there is so much play in your drum that it's most likely damabed your heater aswell. This now poses as a SHOCK or FIRE HAZZARD .If the macxhine is over 5 years old buy a new one as this fault will be very expense to repair

If it is leaking from the waste pump area it may be blocked by a small piece of clothing like a sock or something similar! This will also cause it to take too long to complete a cycle. Remove the rubber hose onto the waste pump and check inside the hose and the pump, make sure the pump spins freely and that nothing is stuck in the hose pipes leading to the pump
SOURCE: does not spin and rinse properly
Sounds like motor is not coming up to spin speed. May be overheating, in which case you would need a new motor.

I had the same problem. The machine will do the washing cycle. At the start of the spin cycle it would start turning with a lot of clicking sounds and then would stop spinning. The water pump would continue working without problem. The motor tries to start again in about three minutes, however, repeats the same behavior. I have a reasonable mechanical and electrical knowledge. I was sure that the overload protection switch of the motor was tripping. I opened up my machine---a GE super capacity top loading machine. Took off the belt and turned the transmission pulley. It turned easily in both directions (washing and spinning). Hence, the transmission was good. Next, I checked any water accumulation in the spin tub. If the water is not drained properly before the spin cycle, it would overload the motor. There was no water clogged in the spin tub. Finally, I dismantled the electric motor. There was a clutch assembly underneath the motor pulley. I dismantled it and found the clutch very dirty with some grease that had turned sticky. I cleaned the assembly thoroughly with alcohol and assembled back the machine. The machine is running perfect after that. Conclusion: The clutch assembly was mis-functioning. Reason: When the spin cycle starts, the spin tub is very heavy and cannot achieve the full speed quickly. On the other hand, electric motors must get to their running speed fairly quickly or else overheating of motor would happen. A proper functioning clutch allows the motor to run at their optimal speed while transferring enough torque to the spin tub to slowly speed up the tub to its fullest. In my case, the clutch was sticky, thus overloading the motor which would trip as it overheats.
