Dishwasher Tripping Earth Leakage

Hey. Saw this thread and it reminded me of my microwave. House would trip from time to time and realized it was always when the microwave ran. Note that it wouldn’t always trip when it ran. But the microwave was always running when the house tripped. I eventually got a new one - the Hisense inverter one. Cooks beautifully.

And since then house hasn’t tripped.
 
An earth leakage tester is pretty handy for R500 then you can test each plug and see if there are any issues.
Finding EL issues can be tough though as they are cumulative so it might be a combo of things causing the problems.
Lastly you can open the dish washer and disconnect things one by one and see if you can find the culprit. Things like the heater, door latch, pump etc are likely culprits.
 
EL swapped out for a brand new one, haven't had any issues since, either while the dishwasher is running or any time period afterward. But, another Hellerman Tyton smart switch/CB died so I have had to bypass that to get our bedroom geyser to heat, so I'll need to rush getting the Geyserwise TSE in so I have easier control of the geyser.
