This is very easy to repair if you know how to get to the timer... but you also have to replace the door inter lock...

Solder a bit of wire between the connections on the timer...

If you follow the neutral wire back fro mthe door interlock upto the timer then you will see what i mean by it blowing the triac...

Our hotpoint ctd40 condenser dryer aquarius trips our household rcd panel when you try to start the machine all the power lights are on and it does not blow the plug fuse. I have cleaned all the filters...

I would get an electrician to check the machine as it appears to have an earth fault on the machine wiring , This type of fault will operate the RCD quicker than the fuse will operate. I am a qualified electrician by trade.

Machine partially fills and then stops working.

THE RCD SWITCH is concealed on the inner side of the hindges of the door or on the top innerside of the door. it is a simple push switch which has a mechanism of push to on/off
this switch has got stuck in off position.
change this switch or spray a drop of rust removal oil. it will start functioning

Machine keeps tripping the fuse at the fuse box - WD61 Aquarius Hotpoint

I believe the problem is in the fus(breaker). I would say that it is the thermal fuse in the machine but it usually goes out before the breaker does. The breaker has gotten weak over the years. You have a hi limit on the machine as well but I doubt this is it. Let me know how you do.
