Dryer blowing circuit breaker Brand: Please select Model Number: hotpoint ultima tc71 Age: 1 - 4 years Just bought a secondhand condenser dryer, the man brought it round in his car for me, once he'd left i plugged it in (without door shut & dial on off) & it tripped the circuit breaker, i noticed the bottom/back was slightly wet & thought maybe he hadn't completely emptied its water container & it had leaked a bit on it's travels so decided to dry out first before retrying it, it's been sat with it's back next to a radiator in the hope it would dry, i've left it 5 days now so decided this morning to plug it back in, but once again it tripped the breaker, strange thing is that the plug socket wasn't even turned on, just soon as i plugged it in turned off socket it blew breaker, i tried turning breaker back on with dryer still plugged into turned off socket but it wouldn't let me reset it till dryer was unplugged, this was a working dryer till it was delivered, what could have gone wrong in transit that as done this, & how do i repair it? thanks |
