    Have you tried to plug anything else into the socket to see if it trips the mcb
    If its fine then try this,
    Plug it out, open the plug up and check the connections.
    How old is it?

    More likely to be water after getting into the machine where it shouldn't. Have a look at the back of the machine and see is it draining correctly or is the drain pipe now letting water back into the machine.

    You need to find out where it's leaking!

    Otherwise it will happen again.
