If the breaker is of the same vintage, it could be a weak breaker. Can you
try plugging the washer into an outlet on a different circuit?
If you need to use an extension cord to do so, make sure it is a heavy duty
cord (14 gauge prefereble) and as short as possible.
The other easy possibility is something else sharing the same circuit
causing an overload?

When our 19 year old washer goes into the spin cycle with a full load
it trips the panel circuit breaker. With half loads it will generally
work okay. Any ideas as to the cause. I suspect a motor problem.
Any other ideas?
also make sure you plug it into a 20 amp. line.....
