Hi,

My Hotpoint washing machine (A First Edition 1000) recently began
making a horrendous amount of noise during the spin cycle. Whilst I've
been looking into changing the bearings etc. It has also started
blowing the main circuit breaker to the house (only the main one not
the smaller circuit breaker supplying the ring that the WM is connected
to). Could these two faults be related which may help me to pinpoint
the actual problem?

Has anyone any suggestions as to what this may be?

Thanks in advance for any replies there may be and a happy new year!

drum bearings and motor brushes.
