my hotpoint aquarius ctd40 tumble dryer keeps tripping why?

You probably have an over-sensitive breaker in your consumer panel ( the box with all the house fuses in it). I moved our tumble dryer to the garage an all is now well. The garage is wired seperatley to the main house meter so therefore doesn't get tripped. It's possible there isn't anything wrong with the appliance but it's always sensible to get such faults? checked out.
