I switch the dishwasher on & it begins it 1st cycle and within 5 minutes it trips out the electrics, It has been suggested that the heating element may have gone. any suggestions?
This does sound like the heater. The element will kick in to heat the water after about 5 mins of the program start. The element will need replacing as it will not be possible to diagnose any other faults untill the machine can go past this point.
