Well that’s not the kind of debugging I was planning on doing this afternoon but then something tripped the fusebox. Apparently it was the residual current device (RCD; which, unless it just saved you from being electrocuted to death, likely means something is wet that shouldn’t be, or so the Interwebs tell me).

Anyway, so we try turning it back on and it trips again. Bugger! And this time, one of the fuses for the switches trips too. So we go around and unplug everything. Flip the RCD. Trips. OK, let’s turn off all the fuses, try each one in turn to make sure we’ve isolated where… ah, it’s one of the switches in the kitchen. And no, we hadn’t unplugged everything… dishwasher and washing machine are still plugged in.

Long story short, it turns out to be the dishwasher.

A few online searches later, I find that other folks with the same model have had the same issue and one guy narrowed it down to the lower door seal being damaged and thus steam getting into the door and up to the electronics in the control panel embedded there. Sounds plausible… so I check the lower door seal and voila, isn’t that just the loveliest hole right there in the middle of it?

So I’ve got a new door seal ordered and on the way and I’ll test the wet cotrol panel theory tomorrow once it’s had a chance to dry.

All riveting stuff, really.

We now return to the more traditional kind of debugging…
