Hi everyone, hope all is well and healthy. I have just bought this beautiful AEG and it wont work pretty much at all. On every cycle except the last spin (in the middle of) the machine trips the power. Ive no idea whats wrong with it. But in the second pic you can see the cable is burnt in the middle. I would love to get her up and running but dont know where to start.

Any ideas?

Hi! Long time no see.

The cable isnt burned, it's the signalcable to the motor controller covered in brush dust.

Does it heat the water? If so, check how many Amperes it uses. If it is a 230V model(I expect that), most of those good old ones have double heating element, with both 1950W and a extra opportunity to connect a 950W element. When both elements connected it needs a 16A current.

Possibly, the reason might be that the heater element is short-circuiting...?

Yeah, it might be, but strange if it starts to get warm before it trips the fuse. If it's a short in the element, it should trip as soon as it switches on the heater.
