Your washing machine may be grounded, This could be due to one or two reasons.
First, Where in the washing cycle did it blow the fuse?
If it was on the heating cycle then your heating element could be broken and will need replacing.
Second, If it was on the tumble cycle (with water in it and going to go round) Then it could be your motor control circut board. This is situated on the base of the machine at the back.
If you attempt to change these items then PLEASE turn off the machine, UNPLUG it from the mains BEFORE you attempt to do any work on it.
