Dishwasher tripping electricity when plugged in

[kingston12]

I have had this dishwasher about 6 years and have recently had to disconnect it and move it.

When I reconnected it, it kept throwing up an error (6 flashes and constant beeping). I cleaned out the filter area and checked that there were not kinks in the supply hose and tried it again.

Now it trips out the electricity every time it is switched on!

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

We had something similar, it turned out to be water from the draining board above the dishwasher leaking on to the socket the dishwasher was plugged in to.

Checked that and the socket is definitely dry.

I am hoping some water just got in somewhere when we were moving it and it will dry out in time.

Have you moved the plug? If so are you sure the new plug socket is 'man enough'? We had this issue when we moved ours and it was then plugged into a different 'loop' and this was causing this to overload.
