HOTPOINT AQUARIS WD440 is not earthing?

did not notice anything wrong with my washer until i went 2 turn my bath taps on and get an electrical shock. this only happens when the washer is turned on. i do not know how long this has been happening for. A repair bloke came out and noticed the earth core in the supressor was black so he changed the suppressor but it is still happening. He thought it might have something to do with the house electrics but it has all been checked and their is nothing wrong

Change the water supply inlet valves - sounds like one of the coils is short circuited. Use a plug in power breaker (RCD) on the machine mains connection.
