Just to check, the thing that trips is the RCD, and has a"T" or "test" button on it, which causes it to trip in the same way, and is marked "test regularly" or something like that?

might be a water leak dripping onto electrics, though dishwashers are usually designed to avoid that. You might be able to see damp on the floor under the machine.

If it happens when the heating element is "on" then it could be that the insulation in the element has broken down, this happens with age. If you set it to a "rinse and hold" (unheated) and it does not trip, it's probably that.

you can probably find an instruction manual online.
