Tumble Dryer Tripping Rcd

Stop shooting me down when im trying to be intelligent :laugh:

to be fair, i forgot/misread about it being 3months old lol - what MDJ said, send the bloody thing back :biggrin:
Do you usually have an habit of loading the enemies gun.... i would hope you are intelligent rather than trying to be ;)

According to some of the posts I have read here lately you need to cut the plug off and connect the flex into a flex outlet PMSL, it will work then :38:
 
Are you trying to set fire to her caravan?

(Just waiting for the torrent of abuse from TidyBoiler now lol)

Oi!!! Watching you lot. I have a letter to give to my solicitor which is hidden in a safe place, if I should catch fire. You saw it here first.... he's giving me his old tat to try and get rid of me!!!!

To check for earth leakage, as this is a new appliance I would not do it on this occasion. You can make up a short extention lead say 30 cm with a 13 amp plug on the end, carefully take off some of the outer insulation and tease out the earth only so that you have loop sticking out. Connect a suitable clamp meter then run the item that you believe that is responsible for the RCD tripping, observe the
reading on disconnection.

i had a similar prob with a washing machine in a council house rewire once, the connection box at the bottom of the machine had a build up of insects inside, this tripped the new rcd after a while
i cleaned it out then everything was pefic
