I have a problem with this dishwasher tripping my RCD. On the first occasion it also blew the 13A fuse. It went mid cycle. I rang the repair man who said it was probablly the pump but after reading other faults, everyone says spin the impeller first. I span the motor through a hole in the back case which lines up with a slot in the end of the shaft. It was fine. I turned the machine on with the door open and reset the programme. As soon as I closed the door, the RCD tripped and would not reset until the dishwasher door was opened or it was unplugged. Any ideas would be welcome, I don't mind calling in the pro's if I have to, but if they turn up and press a reset button and give me a £90 bill! Thanks

Tripping the rcd indicates an earth fault on something within the appliance.
You'll need to be able to do insulation testing with a meter and disconnect a part on each test to narrow the fault down.
If you don't have the equipment to do this I'd suggest getting a pro in to do it.
