is that where the big red nose came from??
;):p

Well the verdict is it must be the heater element. As when you use the economy dry function the earth leakage does not trip.

So I will have a look at it over the weekend to see if there is anything obviously wrong with it.

The element is normally quite easy to remove - and to test just use a meter to see if it's going to earth/ground/negative.

When you take the old one out also check below the seal to see if there has been water dripping past the seal - that is of course if the element checks out okay.

And when you put the element back in make sure the oval seal is good - recommend a new one even if the old one 'looks' okay.
