Indesit IDC75UK Tumble Dryer trips the mains power off!?

When it's 'Start' button is pressed our Indesit IDC75UK Tumble Dryer causes the Residual Current Detector (RCD) on the mains power consumer unit to trip out! The dryer has worked fine for 2 years, but now suddenly causes this problem. I can't find a wiring diagram for the dryer on the Internet and have no idea what part(s) in the dryer is causing the problem. Any ideas anyone?

I've answered my own question. A wire from my wife's underwire bra had found it's way into the dryer's heater conpartment and was shorting out the heating element to earth. I was inspired to look at the heating element by a question related to my problem that had previously been posted on this site, and found the cause of the problem after dismantling the heating element compartment. Thanks anyway and if anyone has a similar issue, beware underwire bras!
