Saniflo short ciircuiting house breaker

[Pred02]

Hi,

Our 5 year old Saniflo (Saniplus) triggered the house electrical circuit breaker. I reset the circuit breaker the unit hums for one second then trips the breaker again. I checked around the box there are no lose connections or a leak. I also checked the fuse near the wall outlet.
Any idea what could be wrong? Is it worth trying to repair the unit or replace?

thanks

If you are 100% sure it’s the saniflow and not the actual circuit, replacing the saniflow is probably the best solution

Could be something trapping the motor, but I’m not sure that would cause it to trip, so likely something else.

I need to make a call if it's worth getting an engineer or just going to replace? A call out is likely £200 or so, to replace likely looking at £500 part + £250 to replace.

I replaced it 5 years ago and it was £340 + 150 labour but parts and labour are more now.

Any home electric device that has worked well for 5 years has done it's duty imo. (Especially if it's duty is pumping poop)
