I've had a problem with my washing machine, a Delonghi DL 600 TX model.
During a cycle, there is a 50% chance that it will trip the fuse assigned to the socket. After 1-2 minutes, if I flip the fuse switch it starts working again. The funny part is that once a week the fuse is tripped even when the machine is not working - just plugged in. I've tried using a different socket and the results are the same with the corresponding fuse. Is it a leakage? How deep do i have to check since the fuse is flipped even with the machine is turned off? With a first inside glance, there is no evident damage to any of the cables.

Thanks in advance

It trips a fuse or rcd?
"Glancing inside" won't tell you anything. Best advice...call service & get them to check it out.

Delongi washers are not common in the uk so I can't give you machine specific information. Mains suppressors do fail occasionally but they rarely fail intermittently. They tend to "pop" or they don't. To confirm where the problem actually lies you need a megger & the knowledge how to use it to check the machine wiring/components, the integrity of any other appliances on the same circuit, & the installation itself. If this is beyond your capabilities....call qualified assistance.
