I guess it's the RCD then. Not the individual circuit breaker (or fuse) for that particular circuit.
This would suggest an earth leakage fault. Something that washing machines are quite well-known for.
If it were an individual circuit breaker, then that would suggest a possible short-circuit fault in the machine. Quite different from an earth fault. Either way, the machine does sound to be the problem.
