Hotpoint FDW80 blowing house electrics & flooding?

No advice I'm afraid- just sympathy. I'm currently online trying to find out why my dishwasher has tripped the main fuse board too. It seems there may be an electrical fault as it only happens when we shut the door, as if that's completing some circuit within the frame. Scary! Also, reading through it sounds like we've had a close call. Other folk report a similar problem, including one whose house went up in flames in the middle of the night because of it! Get rid mate, I think I'm going to. And not for another Hotpoint. We've had nothing but trouble from all of our Hotpoint appliances and the service is ****.
