    Hi my dishwasher a Hotpoint Aquarius FDL570 keeps tripping the electric at the fuse board when its halfway through the cycle.
    This time I disconnected the plug waste and water pipes and turned it on its side and opened the bottom but could not find any evidence of a leak near the electrics so I dont know what or where the problem is...
    Any help welcome.

    Hi not sure of this model but check suppressor (where eletrics enter the dishwasher) for signs of burning and damage.
    also heater
    motor.
    is it tripping rcd or individual circuit?
