Obviously a dangerous short in the wiring. The CB is protecting you from a dangerous shock. My advice is get a repairman.

SOURCE: tripping electricity

HI, The reason for the over-pull is due to the unstable conditions located at the main PCB that controls this affected unit. The voltage is not stable, due to the damage located at the PCB(circuit instabilities). Just to be safe, have your local electrician inspect the breaker box for shorts and damage to the appropriate circuit block. If the electrician confirms that the breaker is in good condition; replace the main control board(PCB) that is mounted near the compressor or behind the rear access panel.

My AEG freezer alarming light flashing followed instructions pressed button and light flashing left hours and alarm light still flashing.

If the alarm light on your AEG freezer is still flashing after you have followed the instructions and pressed the button, it may indicate a problem with the freezer. You can try unplugging the freezer and leaving it unplugged for a few minutes, then plugging it back in to see if the alarm light resets. If the alarm light continues to flash, you may need to consult the manual or contact AEG customer service for further assistance.

I have an AEG Fridge/freezer..the fridge section stopped working last night..can it be the fuse and if it is, where is the fuse situated?

I am not familiar with your unit but It sounds like you may have more problems then you think. The freezer and refrigerator are probably on the same compressor so a fuse shouldn't be involved unless the light doesn't come on. If that is the case you have a tripped breaker or blown fuse in your house panel. Be sure the freezer is actually still working, they warm up much slower then the refrigerator. Put a thermometer inside close it and check every few hours for a few days. It will go up and down, this is normal but it should stay at least -10 or lower (guess on this unit). Check to see if the compressor is operating. Is it possible somebody bumped the thermostat while putting something in the unit?

Hope this helps as a starting point. Find a local source of dry ice in case the freezer fails, this will hold it for a while saving your food giving you time to effect a repair.

My AEG Arctis freezer is not freezing at the correct temperature and seems to stick on -11 even if I put the fast freeze on.I have turned it off for 24 hours and on again but it still does not hold the...

The freezer is probably in need of defrosting. This usually occurs when the freezer has been over packed. It needs to be able to ahve air flow through it, there are holes in the back of the freezer and a defrosting element at the top and they need to be clear in order to keep it frost free. It happend to me and we called an engineer out. solved it by using hair dryer to defrost it.

Delfield freezer 6151-S keeps tripping GFCI

Try it in a normal plug. Freezers and refridgerators just pull too much to be used on a GFCI. The more a GFCI is used the eaiser it trips.

Upright freezer not cooling adequately

Go to there website and see if you can find your model. You can also contact them from there.
http://www.aeg-electrolux.co.uk/node145.asp?CategoryID=2595

Also get yourself a stand alone fridge and freezer thermometer - leave it in for an hour -that will establish what the temperature really is which will help in diagnosing the cause.

Also trying unplugging it for 15 minutes so the display board loses power - then plug it back in - sometimes that will reset it.
