    The mains filter is in circuit the moment poer is connected and if the machine does not trip off when not running this is not likely to be faulty. A common problem is water not being cleared to the container being splashed onto the heater. Check the drain pump and make sure the reservoir and pipe from the condenser is not blocked.
