Hi Mike from London. Desperate for help and from your pots you seem like a washing machine wizard! 8 yr old miele novotronic premiere 500 keeps tripping fuse box (which is new and hence now very sensitive). Electrician thought was likely to be element, hence have managed to get panels etc off but cannot get element out to inspect it. Can you help or advise if you think it might be something else before I spend money buying replacement parts as part of the diagnostic process? Would be so grateful for any help. Many thanks.
