Hotpoint T/D trips mains switch but not the washer/dryer circuit trip switch.

Dryer runs for 10 -15 mins then trips main circuit breaker and not the washer/dryer circuit breaker. Circuit breaker will not reset. Can leave it for a while and it will run again for a few mins. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

    If your drier is a condenser drier it is likely water is getting onto the heater element causing an earth leakage current and tripping the RCD on the fuse board. Check the condenser water is draining corectlly and not blocked by fluff.
