When i plugged in the washing machine, it tripped all the electric in the house? have changed fuses and used a different plug but still happening.
SOURCE: Hotpoint WMA 48, tripped house rcd, no lights on and water heating noise.
If you are not sure what you are doing, call out an engineer and have the job carried out properly with safety testing at the end of the job!

Hiya,
there is a few things that will do this to your electics 1st & formost if your trip switch is tripping off remember this is a safty device to prevent fire so ignoring the problem & switching the power back on to try again could run the risk of fire!!
when the power trips you will need to know at what point in the wash this happens if its when the machine is emptying then it would be a pump issue if the machine is emptying no problem then the issue is more likely to be the motor either of which would need to be replaced if you are having these problems.
on rare ocasions you can spring a leak & if water gets on the electrics this will also trip the power but this is 1 of the least likely posabilatys.. rest assured if the power is tripping off then your home electrics are working fine & to confirm all sockets run from 1 main fuse all lights run from a second main fuse then there is a few other bits that run on there on fuses too i.e. cooker, power shower etc.. remember always get a qualified electrician to work on your electrics to ensure the job is carried out correctly
Hope this helps

either the motor start capacitor on the machines motor is shorted,the motor winding itself is grounding itself out to the case and shorting or you may have a bare wire touching the metallic frame in the machine
