dishwasher tripped switch board

Hi
Tricity bendix dishwasher tripped our switch board - if I try it again, it will trip switch board again.

It is almost 10 years old - any advice on what may be wrong ? Is it worth calling somebody out to repair it or waste of money as too old ? Thanks

If its tripping the mcb then its pointing towards the heating element is gone kapuut

Ok thanks for reply - what would it cost to replace this heating element ?

For a 10 year old dish washer - is it worth replacing ?

Anybody know about this ? Thanks

A quick look at a spares site puts the price of a heater at around €70 plus labour, it depends on whether you think it's worth spending around €150 on keeping this machine going for an unknown time or putting that money towards a new one.

Thanks for reply I can get a Beko new @ power city for 230 delivered - so think it is best to go with this...
