Dishwasher trips the power on drying cycle??

It is connected to its original power point..

Is the new power point location on a RCD type breaker & the old location wasn't? If so, you may have a small earth leakage problem on the element. RCD breakers will trip out with a very small earth leakage but ordinary breakers will run on quite happily.

Thats a very good point about the drying cycle... Can I get round it tripping everything out by disabling that cycle??
I have run a cable connecting it to the original socket to which it was connected to eliminate that problem..

Check the power requirement of the dishwasher and the power ratting of the circuit it connect to. The circuit need to have a rating of AT LEAST the power requirement of EVERYTHING that is connected and working at any given moment.
My guess is that in it's original location, it was connected to it's own circuit that is rated to an adequate power. In the new, temporary, location, the circuit is surely rated lower and may have some other things connected.

Next. I have a question: Do you REALY need to use the drying cicle?
Personaly, I've never ever used it, and everyone I know also don't.
Try that, it will help reduce your electricity bills and your dishes will only take a few more minuted to get dry...
