My Zanussi Diswasher DE6744 has started to trip out the electrics on the mains circuit board when carrying out the drying cycle. Please could uou advice to the problem and if necessary tell me how to replace the part

It is quite possible you have a defective heat element. I had a similar problem with my Zanussi DWS 949 dishwasher. Replacing the element fixed the fault. The element was shorting to ground when a large voltage was applied theby tripping my mains RCB. Find someone with an insulation meter (mega) to check your element out before purchasing one.
