I am not a Sparx
It is unlikely to be a blown fuse in the plug as once the fuse is blown a circuit is not formed so the washing machine just not switch on if this was the case.
There is likely to be a short occuring somewhere in the washing machine. Try unplugging the washing machine and plugging something else in. If the circuit breaker doesn't trip once you've done this call an engineer to check out the washing machine. Given the age of the machine it is possible that it won't be economical to repair I'm afraid.
Like I say I'm not a Sparx but if you do this you should be able to confirm its the washing machine without causing any damage.

Electric question
No issues for ages and this morni g the circuit breaker keeps tripping out. Through the process of elimination the issue lies with our washing machine. It's been in here for 7-8 years, no issues at all.
Any idea on what to look at, could it be simple as a blown fuse in the plug?
