Jackson dishwasher trips the circuit breaker during or shortly after starting a cycle.

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Lock out/tag out the circuit and investigate before restoring power.

• Inspect for visible damage: Look for burned wiring, melted insulation, or scorch marks around heaters, motors, and control box.
• Test heating elements: Disconnect heater leads and measure resistance to ground. Any continuity to ground indicates a shorted element that must be replaced.
• Check motors: Test motor windings for shorts to ground. Replace motors with grounded windings.
• Look for moisture: Inspect junction boxes and wiring conduits for water ingress. Dry thoroughly and correct any leaks causing moisture.
• Verify breaker sizing: Confirm that the breaker and wiring are sized per Jackson’s installation requirements and that the dishwasher is on a dedicated circuit.

After repairs, perform an insulation resistance test if available to ensure no remaining leakage paths before re-energizing.
