Resetting the RCD is fine.

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


Static discharge at end of drying cycle,

discharge to drum ?

Add fabric sheet and retest on next load.
The fabric sheet being a depleter of static charge.

I stopped using fabric sheets here some years
ago, and there is *plenty* of static when I
take out a load now :-)

Thanks, I did think that, but there's no noticeable static. And I don't like
perfumed clothes.
