    My washing machine is tripping the electricity. Managed to isolate it and have all sockets working again but obv cant use washing machine.

    Does anyone know that if water has got in somewhere would it dry out after a few days and could it be used again or does it need someone to fix it?

    Thanks:)

    I once had the same issue, it turned out that while she was boiling the kettle she had let water get into the plug.
    I suggest getting a new one or just explaining to her that she is getting water into some electrical outlet. However be careful, as most home appliances are not receptive to criticism. Be gentle and maybe give her some chocolate or a smile when you correct her.

    Do you mean when the electricity tripped what part of the cycle was it on? If so I think it was near the end of the cycle just before the final rinse/spin, when it tripped there was nearly a full drum of water so had to empty that myself.
