Bosch washing machine tripping the RCD

Folks, I've a Bosch WAE24469GB Exxcel 7 VarioPerfect Automatic washing machine. I put on a wash, it starts, water starts to come in, and after about 2 mins it trips the RCD every time :mad:. It can complete a spin only cycle, which take 12 minutes. Any advice appreciated. Chris.

That problem points to a failed heater element.
have you got a multimeter to check for continuity.

REMEMBER POWER OFF BEFORE ANY CHECKS...!!!
