Lg Model Wm2301hw Trips Circuit Breaker

Front loader washer periodically trips circuit breaker for no apparent reason. Circuit breaker has been replaced twice and problem still exists. Is this an internal washer circuit board issue and if so, is there a fix or a product recall?

this could be due to the washing machine drawing more that it should or because the breaker cannot handle the current the machine needs, coupled with the other machines on the ring main.
