Should a washer that trips be reset repeatedly?

No. Repeatedly resetting electrical protection can expose a continuing fault rather than resolve it. A trip during a wash needs a safe assessment before further operation.

Understanding this situation

The stage at which it happened is useful information, but it does not establish which component failed. A trip when heating begins differs from a random loss of a house circuit, yet neither should be deliberately reproduced by the customer.

A useful next step

Leave the appliance unused and report the programme stage and any accompanying leak, smell or visible damage. Use only safe supply isolation. Do not bypass the protective device, change wiring or plug the washer into a different circuit as a diagnostic experiment.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
