My Creda 47916 Dish Washer has been tripping my RCD and after borrowing
a Megger, I have found that its the element.

If I measure between Live and Earth with the element in place, I get
50Kohms.. Once the element is disconnected, I get open-circuit.

Once the element is out, if I measure it between on of its connectors
and the chassis, I get the same 50Kohms reading.. So the element
clearly has broken down.

I was quite happy as CPC do an element which looked the same for ?16..
But when I looked closer, it was completely different. Unfortunatly,
this is the only element that they do.

CPC have a wider range than they have in the catalogue.
Obtain the model number, and ring them.

Thirded.

CPC have far more parts available than what's in the catalogue.

I have just had from them a new washer/drier pump and door interlock (both
in the cataloge),

and

a fan oven element and fan motor (element was in the catalogue, motor needed
a bit of research but they came up with the goods).

Seems that all the appliances that I put in about 8-9 years ago are just
starting to wear out big style.

All the above bits were MUCH cheaper than other online spares suppliers.
