About 5 weeks ago I turned on the water and nothing. It was a weekend and I called a plumber and he came and looked at the breaker...it was tripped...he flipped it and I asked why it was tripped and he said I should get an electrician to look at it. I called the electrician and he said he could not find a problem. I called another plumber who said I needed a new well pump. Got the pump. A few days later it tripped again. Called the electrician and put in a larger breaker. Tripped again. No one seems to know what the problem is. The only things that have changed right before this happened is that we got a new hot water heater and a new washing machine tub hooked up. It also seems to only happen when we run hot water to the washing machine. We can run the dishwasher, have hot showers and all and there is no problem. But when we run hot water to the washing machine it trips. Our house is also under contract and we close in 3 weeks and I need to get this fixed or the sale may fall thru. I went on a househunting trip for 10 days and told my kids while I was gone to not use hot water when washing the clothes. The breaker never tripped during those 10 days. When I got back my husband washed a load using warm water and a few hours later the breaker tripped. I will replace everything if I need to I just am so frustrated that no one seems to know what is going on. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
