Resetting the RCD is fine.

Any idea of the cause/solution, and safety issues?

We had the same problem with our Beko last November, where it tripped at
the end of the cycle when it was cooling down. I traced the problem to
the interference filter. This can be found as the first component after
the mains lead enters the tumble drier, but comes /before/ the mains
switch, so even turning the switch off at the end of the cycle did not
prevent the RCD tripping.

I purchased a new filter and fitted it, which immediately solved the RCD
tripping problem. Filter obtained from Spares-2-Go via Amazon

The appearance of the filter might differ from what you have or need as
your model Beko might be different from mine.

Smashing, thanks, I'll take a look.
