Hotpoint CTD40 Tumble Dryer?

My tumble dryer has power but when i start a programme it trips the main household power supply, what could be the problem?

The unit is 18months old and has worked very well.

There is another potential solution to this problem - but i am limited in helping. I called out an engineer who showed me that the filters get clogged up and water accumulates. He showed me that by using something like a plastic tie, you can clear any blockage - but I cannot remember where around the back of the appliance this is. I will add when I remember/find out.

we found this was related to having left damp clothes inside - once it dried out then this problem stopped - don't leave clothes that are damp inside and this doen't happen

Hi. I had the same problem with my dryer. Check the ampage on your fuse box as the amp level may be quite low.
