[QUOTE="UNG, post: 499834, member: 8931"] Seen this type of intermittent fault many times where the RCD trips and resets with no problems for days or weeks before it does it again. I would go straight to the fridge and freezer and check the defrost heating elements that keep them frost free. Once the power has tripped to a fridge or freezer it resets the timer / defrost controller and there is no apparent fault to find and until it operates and energises the heating element again and then RCD trips and the cycle starts again Took me a few weeks the first time I had this fault to find but since then it's the first thing I check when there is a fridge or freezer on the circuit. Don't be fooled by the age of the unit had this on a 3 - 4 year old american style fridge / freezer once [/QUOTE]
