Default Electrical advice: Washing machine tripping RCD
wrote:

I have electrical knowledge and multimeters etc. Just seeking opionions on what might be most likely.

could be leakage of the mains filter in the machine, if you test on the
plug of the washing machine, what impedance do you see across E&L, and
E&N ... megger would be better than a multimeter if you have one.


Could be a chafed cable connection e.g. neutral to earth (if it was live
to earth or to neutral it would be fuses or MCBs tripping)
