    Hi my washing machine keeps tripping my fuse box about 10-15 mins into a cycle , am wondering what would be the cause ? Anything I can DIY myself or would be a bigger job ?

    A trip is either down to too high a load or a dead short. I'd plump for dead short and something to do with your heating element. That time is around the time the initial rinse with cold has been done and the heating element could be expected to kick in.

    Could be just the element gone and shorting to ground, tripping the fuse. Happened with my oven element.

    Try a cold rinse cycle if you can.

    If it makes it through that I’d agree with above that the element is dead and shorting.
