Washer causes circuit breaker to trip or RCD to trip during operation.

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker without finding the cause. Unplug the washer before inspection.

• Step 1 – Isolate the washer:
  • Confirm that the breaker only trips when the Arctic washer is in use.
• Step 2 – Inspect wiring:
  • Remove rear panel and check for crushed or cut wires.
• Step 3 – Test heater (advanced):
  • Disconnect heater wires and test for continuity between each terminal and earth; any reading indicates a fault.
• Step 4 – Test motor (advanced):
  • Similarly, test motor windings to chassis for leakage.
• If earth leakage is found on heater or motor, replace the faulty component. If no obvious fault is found, have a qualified technician perform insulation resistance tests and repair.
