You could disconnect the wires to the heating element and see if it still trips the breaker.
Obvs pull the plug first and secure the cables so they can't touch anything before testing.
It'll probably be similar to this

Thanks, useful pointer.
Called an engineer who said he would either be a heating element or the power unit. In espares the elements cost around £40 plus the engineer call out charge of £55.
The missus just wants to get a new machine, I'd like to fix the current one.
I'm trying to see if a cold wash or a drain setting would work but as soon as I switch the plug on it flips so cant test the theory.
Looks like we might be going washing machine shopping 😲
