hi
My washing machine seems to be tripping my RCD.. It only happens at the end of the wash when it finishes its cycle. It doesnt happen every time but more often than not... I had the disher washer in the same place and on the same socket as washer is on now and it also happened with there..So i got rid of it.. Is it the RCD or something else???? please help
S/O is the abbreviation used in the electric industry for a socket outlet (any plug that you plug a appliance into, to make it work) .
where you plug the MACHINE into to use it THIS PLUG NEEDS THE CONNECTIONS ON THE REAR CHECKED for loose connections or carbon tracking (black scorch marks) from (L) Live to the(E) Earth

SOMETHING ELSE as you have had 2 different appliances on the the same S/O producing the the same fault ie rcd tripping I would get the S/O checked for loose connections, or arcing/tracking across the rear of the S/O switch .
The chances of 2 of your appliances going down with the same fault is very rare hence check the S/O
